Live At The Lodge - ChillOut Festival 2025

Conveniently located at the base of Daylesford's main strip, showcasing locally produced food, beverage and live bands, Live At The Lodge provides all things required to see the weekend out in just the right way.

Unrivalled drinks lists, food offerings and full band performances in Daylesford's unique Masons Hall makes for an unmissable event.

Lounge out on the lawn, eat your fill and enjoy specialty cocktails & tailor-made beverages, boogie down in the hall to the lively indie-pop sounds of BELLA DEER & funky uplifting grooves of Red Liquorice & more all night.

Bella Deer

Fans of powerful female vocalists such as Florence Welch, Mia Wray, and LAUREL will find Bella Deer’s work magnetic and

emotionally charged. Tracks on the EP were mixed and mastered by ARIA Award-nominated producer Malcolm Besley

(Slowly Slowly, Washington, Hope D, Odette), adding a polish that enhances the EP’s dynamic sound and raw intensity.

Red Liquorice

Using only the finest ingredients, sourced directly from the rich history of popular music, Red Liquorice serve their unique brand of groove-infused rock with a nod to the past, an eye to the future, and a light dusting of that sweet sweet sugar.

The Melbourne-based quintet have only recently debuted on the live circuit in 2024, yet their decades of combined experience wouldn’t suggest this. Get them while they’re fresh.

Nicholas Ellerby

Performing solo and duo shows to promote his recent releases throughout late 2023 and early 2024, Ellerby will be returning to Palais-Hepburn in March to showcase a debut full band set. You can expect the familiar acoustically driven, heartfelt and emotive story telling you’ve enjoyed to date, but bigger.

ChillOut Bus stop right out front makes this a definitive destination for your chillout festival itinerary.
