Melbourne’s favourite community-driven mini-festival returns for its biggest year yet. Franjapan are proud to present Franjafest 3, taking over the iconic Croxton Bandroom in Thornbury on February 21, 2026.

Now in its third iteration, Franjafest has grown from a grassroots passion project into a vibrant celebration of local music, mateship, and the broader Australian indie scene. This year’s lineup brings together an exciting mix of emerging and established artists, including The Tullamarines, Holly Hebe, Sleepazoid, Lotte Gallagher, Dizzy Days, The Velvet Club, Kitschen Boy, and many more still to be announced.

Known for its electric atmosphere and welcoming spirit, Franjafest is more than a gig — it’s a gathering of artists, fans, and friends who believe in building community through music. Expect an eclectic night of indie, pop, rock, and everything in between, curated lovingly by Franjapan and delivered with that unmistakable grassroots energy.

Whether you’re a longtime Franjafest regular or joining the party for the first time, get ready for a huge night celebrating the artists shaping the next wave of Australian music.
