Sleepless Festival 2026 - Trugo Lane Block Party
Description
Sleepless Footscray Festival is returning May 15th - 17th 2026! One day, two day or three day tickets available!
Welcome to Sleepless Festival 2026, a multi-stage and multi-disciplinary arts festival spanning three days (15th-17th May) in the heart of Footscray! With a stacked lineup of emerging and established music acts, visual artists and an entire stage dedicated to forward thinking live electronic music - Sleepless 2026 is shaping up to be a completely unique festival experience.
More than a Music Festival; Sleepless is a collaboration across all forms of art. As well as the music, over the weekend, you can experience art installations, the visual art gallery, roaming performances, Theatrical acts, live painting, local food vendors and Little Africa Market stalls!
The Sleepless mission is rooted in celebrating diversity, giving light to underground scenes, putting on epic events and primarily; reactivating abandoned / unused spaces. After activating many new spaces in previous years including Metro West Shopping Center, this year we’re transcending the box in our soon-to-be announced secret location. Stay tuned for lineup release updates and more festival details to come.
