The Settlement, Brooke Taylor, Delsinki & The Quiet Coachmen, The Hootie Tooties
Headliners: The Settlement are a collective of creatives forged in the pubs of southwest Victoria. Emerging from those roots, the group has grown from a foot-stomping, folk-rock outfit into a band intent on weaving bold, immersive sonic journeys. Though they’ve faced the hardships of balancing artistry with the demands of modern music culture – the endless cycle of posts, platforms, and digital appearances – The Settlement have fought their way back to what matters most: creation.
