Sullivan Patten, live music and festival programmer, joins the team at Sunday Arts Magazine to discuss the St Kilda Festival 2024.

They have a passion for music and have performed in many bands. They have staged their own shows, both overseas and in Australia. From this more opportunities presented themselves, giving rise to paid roles. They have worked in the creative sector for over fifteen years, in roles including programming, curation, production, bookings, events, operations and tour management. This is Sullivan’s third year of involvement with the St Kilda Festival; being one of the leading programmers there.

The St Kilda Festival runs over two days: 17th and 18th February.
