Church Street Studios in Camperdown, Sydney is home to an autonomous collective of independent music, sound and screen professionals. The festival will happen in their intimate, eclectic venue space located upstairs from their music studios.

𝗧𝗜𝗖𝗞𝗘𝗧𝗦
Festival passes are available in 3 self-selecting tiers: concession/hardship, general, and supporter. Passes for the full festival (Stereo Pass) or one day only (Mono Pass) are available.

Unfortunately, there is currently no lift access to the venue which is up one floor (22 steps). The stairs are very wide (1.5m), and have handrails on both sides.

The Music Box Project acknowledges the traditional custodians of the unceded land we will be playing on, the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, and pay respects to their elders past, present and emerging. This always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
