Eskimo Joe to headline west festival

Australia’s beloved alt-rock power trio Eskimo Joe are sure to have audiences up on their feet when they headline the Lincoln Park Twilight Festival.

Held on Saturday 28 February at Lincoln Park, Essendon, the free festival is sure to be a destination live-music event for the west.

Twilight Festival is set to rock as Eskimo Joe celebrates 20 years of their award-wining album Black Fingernails, Red Wine, while also performing their recent singles.

They will be joined by rising alt pop-rock group Joan & the Giants, fresh off Australian tours supporting Pink and The Fray.

Crowd favourite DJ Be Kind to Other People will return, hitting the decks to get the party started.

Local emerging pop singer Ken Shing rounds out the line-up with his upbeat tunes.

The event will be hosted by popular radio and television personality Zan Rowe.

There will be plenty on offer for the whole family, including children’s activities, roaming activations, entertainment, food, and more. Grab your family and friends, pack a picnic, sit back and enjoy a freetwilight concert

Twilight Festival will run from 5-9.30pm.
