After-dark music and arts festival SLEEPLESS FESTIVAL is set to take over Melbourne’s inner west this May with a vibrant showcase of music, performance, art and installation. From May 2 to 18, Melbourne’s inner west will come alive after dark to celebrate the creativity and culture of its local artists.
Now in its fourth year, Sleepless Footscray, supported by Maribyrnong City Council, will build on its success of previous years by staging art installations, film, performances, and immersive experiences in sixteen underutilised and unconventional Footscray CBD venues, highlighting the suburb’s potential as a thriving arts community with a vibrant nightlife.
Alex Mansell, spokesperson for Sleepless Festival, said: “Sleepless Footscray is a celebration of the bold, the unexpected, and the deeply creative spirit of Melbourne’s inner west. This year, we’re transforming overlooked spaces into stages, galleries, and immersive worlds, inviting audiences to experience music and art in ways they never have before.”
