MORDI Fest should be expanded to a three-day event with more popular bands, a Kingston councillor says.
This year, Mordi Fest took place on 4 and 5 March. The two-day festival was headlined by British India.
Kingston councillor Cameron Howe has successfully advocated for a review into the festival. He says that the event has the potential to grow into something “iconic”.
“Mordi Fest should be bigger, better, and bolder, with a bigger emphasis on better entertainment and bands over three days beginning on the Friday night,” Howe said. “Live music venues in Mordialloc will have the option to add to participate, in what in future years could be a hive of energy. Bringing bigger bands to the bay will ensure the Mordi Fest is cemented as an iconic event.
“The review will also consider use of the Main Street service lanes and assess ticketing options.”
A report on Mordi Fest is expected to come back to Kingston Council later this year.
