🎤 Castlemaine IDYLL 2026
Movie Soundtracks • Live Band • Community Energy
IDYLL is back at Lot19 on Saturday 14 March 2026 🎶
This year we’re celebrating movie soundtracks sung by locals, backed by a live band, and cheered on by a big-hearted community crowd.
Think familiar songs, brave humans having a go, kids dancing up the front, mates cheering from the grass and a dancefloor that’s always buzzing.
If that made you smile, this is your kind of day.
