Palace Foreshore in St Kilda is levelling up for 2026, unveiling a blockbuster new wave of artists that cements this summer series as one of Melbourne’s must-book live music experiences. With global icon Grace Jones, the long-awaited Australian return of Marina, and the unstoppable rise of King Stingray, the foreshore is officially turning the volume all the way up on its biggest, boldest season yet.
Things kick off with Black Country, New Road on February 26, Droppin’ Science on February 27, Marina on February 28, King Stingray on March 1 and Grace Jones on March 2.
Back for the first time in Melbourne since 2018, trailblazer Grace Jones promises a performance that’s all about glamour, theatrical power and pure electricity.
Also making a triumphant return is Marina, stepping back onto Australian soil for the first time since 2011. Her show will be packed with disco-lit electro-pop and unapologetic anthems like 'Butterfly' and 'Cupid’s Girl'.
With a swag of ARIAs under their belt, King Stingray will bring their infectious Yolŋu surf-rock energy to St Kilda. Expect a high-octane set that blends raucous rock, deep cultural roots and unbeatable live energy.
The Streets revisit A Grand Don’t Come For Free in full on March 5, followed by Pendulum on March 6. Peach PRC wraps things up with a glittering pop spectacular on March 12.
Add in summer sunsets, food trucks, pop-up bars and the electric atmosphere of the St Kilda Triangle, and Palace Foreshore is shaping up to be the soundtrack of your summer. You can book your tickets here.
