Polaris pull together metal summer event, Life’s A Beach

Shred for the summer has taken on a new meaning.

Life’s A Beach will take place on Saturday 14 February at the Riviera Beach Club in St Kilda, joined by a stacked array of local and international talent.

Headlined and curated by Polaris, also marking the final live celebration of their acclaimed 2023 album Fatalism leading into a brand new chapter, Life’s A Beach will feature some of Australia’s most exciting up-and-coming artists alongside some international icons including We Came As Romans (USA), Thy Art Is Murder, Gippsland’s Ocean Sleeper, Caskets (UK), Terminal Sleep, Reliqa and Headwreck.

“Putting together an outdoor fest that we can call our own has been a little pipe-dream of ours for a while now – and this coming summer felt like the perfect time to dip our toes in, so to speak! We’ve hand-picked a killer mix of old friends from abroad and at home, some familiar favourites and some of the best up-and-coming local talent. We’re so psyched to have the chance to create a new experience for our fans in such a unique and beautiful location. We can’t wait to have a mosh as the sun goes down, and most likely throw ourselves into the waves as soon as we walk off stage! Life’s a beach baby, don’t forget it!” says Daniel Furnari, Polaris

Renowned for playing host to some of Melbourne’s most in-demand DJ and electronic live music events, the Riviera Beach Club has become the city’s secret summer party venue. But next February, LIFE’S A BEACH is primed to transform the site into a one-day-only heavy music takeover, ultimately offering fans a unique experience unlike anything they’ve ever witnessed before.

From the ARIA Award winners to the next generation of heavy music, Life’s A Beach will take heavy music into brand new waters under the warm summer sun, stepping away from the standard touring venues and stages to create something truly unique.
