SUGAR MOUNTAIN 2016
Saturday 23 January
Victorian College of the Arts + Melbourne Arts Precinct

Returning to our home at Victorian College of the Arts (VCA) on Saturday 23 January, Sugar Mountain 2016 features another mouth-watering program of the best cutting-edge music and visual art from Australia and beyond.

While capacity remains limited, we have increased the scope of our unique site - located in the heart of the city's creative precinct - with the introduction of brand new spaces. We've also expanded our food and drink offerings, including the next-level festival dining experience Sensory, an immersive restaurant experiment developed in collaboration with boundary-pushers Bomba, Tin & Ed and Cut Copy

The outdoor Boiler Room stage, one of the highlights of SM '15, returns in collaboration with Bacardi, with all the action again being beamed around the globe via the world wide webs. Check the full line-up on the Sugar Mountain website.

Sugar Mountain is a place for creativity to be exhibited, absorbed and celebrated. We are determined to create an environment that's convivial and interactive, with performances and spaces that will remain with the audience long after the festival finale.

Let's get to the good stuff.
