Headliners Matt and Kim have become festival circuit favourites with a live act renowned for raw exuberance, bombastic beats, sing-along refrains and dance-ready anthems. They’ve performed at numerous major music festivals including Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Coachella, and Pemberton.

“We’re going to transform Minoru Park into a global village that celebrates our cultural diversity, with something to satisfy all interests, ages and tastes,” said Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “We invite everyone in Richmond and visitors from around the region and around the globe to join us for a great end of summer festival.”
