ON Saturday, 7 March, McClelland Sculpture Park + Gallery will transform into a sonic sanctuary as Sculpted Sounds debuts. This one-day festival has an impressive lineup set against native bushland and world-class sculpture.
Leading the charge is Ball Park Music, the Brisbane indie-rock icons whose latest album Like Love soared to number one on the ARIA charts in 2025. With five ARIA Top 5 albums and platinum singles un-der their belt, expect a set brimming with euphoric energy and heartfelt lyricism.
Sharing the spotlight is Sarah Blasko, a voice that has shaped Australian music for over two decades. Her seventh album, I Just Need To Conquer This Mountain, is a raw, poetic journey through grief and re-newal. Blasko’s performance promises to be an emotional high point.
Adding soulful depth is Melbourne’s The Meltdown, masters of gospel-infused blues and timeless soul. Their upcoming release, Perseverance, delivers shimmering guitars and warm horn arrangements, a soundtrack to resilience.
For a touch of vintage charm, Queenie and Hank bring golden-age country duets into the modern era. Eloise Thetford’s honeyed tones meet Henry Wagons’ fireside baritone in harmonies that feel nostalgic yet fresh. Guiding the day is Wagons himself as Master of Ceremonies.
Sculpted Sounds is a rare chance to experience Australia’s most compelling artists in one unforgettable setting. Music lovers, this is your stage, book tickets now via mcclelland.org.au.
