Ability Fest doubles up in 2024

Untitled Group and triple j, in conjunction with the Dylan Alcott Foundation will bring Ability Fest, a one-of-a-kind inclusive festival to Melbourne on the 19th of October, and for the very first time to Brisbane on the 26th of October. As a not-for-profit event, 100% of proceeds from Ability Fest are donated to the Dylan Alcott Foundation, with each ticket contributing to helping young Australians living with a disability fulfil their dreams. Ability Fest prides itself on offering a completely unique and inclusive experience for everyone. Ability Fest will again deliver a diverse and world class lineup, featuring artists both local and international artists. 

Ability Fest’s dedication to making events more accessible and diverse creates a positive impact on both our local community and tourism sector, showcasing that Melbourne continues to be the vibrant and inclusive city we call home
— Steve Dimopolous - Victorian Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events

Ability Fest will once again work with Get Skilled Access to enhance the accessibility for all, offering specialised facilities and services such as elevated viewing platforms, pathways, quiet zones and sensory areas to ensure everyone who attends has a great time. Ability Fest is committed to ensuring accessibility for all, this extends to the cost of living crisis so a single ticket will cost only $60 as well as the return of complimentary admission for carers.
