ROAR FEST – Celebrating Women in Music

The ultimate ‘Sunday Sisterhood Session’ – Five powerful female voices from five different decades set to raise the roof at St Kilda’s historic National Theatre.

For one night only as part of the 2025 ROAR FEST program you are invited to join five of Australia’s most powerful performers with careers spanning five decades for a night of iconic hits hosted by the incomparable Ella Hooper (Killing Heidi) at the historic National Theatre in St Kilda.

Australian songstress and multi-ARIA Award-winning Kate Ceberano will headline the evening after completing a sold-out national tour of the smash hit concert series ‘Superstars Live’. Joining her will be pop icon and winner of the
2022 Australian Women in Music (AWMA) Songwriter Award Tania Doko (Bachelor Girl), powerhouse soul artist WILSN, six-time ARIA Award-winning Gabriella Cilmi and star-on-the-rise Gypsy Lee.

In addition, a local foyer stage will also host performances from Collarts live music students from doors open to show time and in interval breaks.

This rare collective of performers will bring you an unceasing set of faultless musicianship and unwavering vocal stylings with a side serving of sisterhood. Get ready for a soul-stirring experience.

Strictly one night only – don’t miss out!

With a vision to see “more women on and off the stage”, ROAR FEST is more than just a music Festival – it’s a
movement designed to connect, celebrate and amplify voices through music, art and meaningful connections. It offers
a vibrant and collaborative platform for established and emerging artists and workers, fostering creativity,
representation and growth; ROAR FEST ensures women have their powerful voices heard.
