From heartwarming ballads to lively tunes, the Velvetones’ dynamic harmonies and flawless execution will transport you through the ages of the silver screen – from the glamour of classic films to the vibrant energy of modern movie music. Featuring music from beloved films such as The Sound of Music, The Blues Brothers, Love Actually, and more, this performance has something for everyone.

    Our pricing model

    As a non-profit, we prioritise bringing singing and music to our communities, not maximising income. We work to make our ticket prices as affordable as possible, and we’ve shifted to an early bird pricing model instead of concession pricing. This change focuses on equity, allowing everyone to secure tickets at a reduced price and helping us keep the festival accessible to as many people as possible.

    Each event will have a set number of tickets available at the early bird price. Once these are sold, standard prices will apply. This ensures we can cover event costs while keeping the festival sustainable and maintaining affordable options for our audiences.
