Friday Oct 23 @ The Vineyard St Kilda 🔥

We’re delighted to invite you to ‘The Edge of Sleep’.
FEATURING
Orchestra 21
Director & violin Sarah Curro

DATE & TIME
4pm Saturday 24 October 2026
St Stephens Anglican Church
360 Church St, Richmond
Doors open 3:30pm

Guest artist Sarah Curro joins Orchestra 21 on violin and as director, for a performance featuring:

Shostakovich: Chamber Symphony
Tchaikovsky: Andante funèbre from String Quartet No. 3
Grieg: Åse’s Death
Macens: The Lake
Whitacre: Sleep arr. for string orchestra

Roses are red, Violets are blue, Your love is a knife, And my hart bleeds for you.

It is the night before All Hallows’ Eve, and the knife of love has pierced our chest. With a BLEEDING HART, we offer ourselves as tribute to the blood moon. For those ready to succumb to the dark side … come feast on queer techno, deliciously strange performances, and immaculate vibes drippppping in crimson red at 24 Moons.

Headlining the decks is the Crown Prince of the fallen city himself Tom Peters (Berlin). Supporting his reign on Main are resident henchmen Jack Hardmen and Sluddy Daddy.

In the Loft, we have three HART virgins stepping up to make their first offering, with Penelope Scarlett, syrup-E, and DEMETRIUS providing their own unique nightmare elegy for your aural pleasures.

Serving twisted beats in the Cocktail Bar will be HART co-conspirator and fan favourite Shell Shock.

And our agents of darkness for HART VIII will be resident ghoul Killer Barbie, our favourite possessed club kid Lilium, and the wielder of the knife piercing our chest Xavier Switchblades.

To prepare for your journey into the shadows, we suggest you come dressed in your best creatures of the night or midnight monster attire.

Miss this and be forever haunted by late night tales of debauched ascension.

❤️ BLEEDING HART

At HART, we do not tolerate any form of transphobia, homophobia, biphobia, racism, misogyny or discrimination of any kind. Respect and compassion are acts of radical rebellion in our current political climate, practice them always.

There will be loud music playing throughout the night at HART, though we’ll be keeping flashing lights to a minimum. The venue is not accessible by wheelchair. If you have any accessibility requirements, please reach out to the team before the night so we can accommodate.

HART takes place on the stolen lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation, the Traditional Custodians of this patch of Naarm. We recognise their continuing connection to Country, culture, and community, and pay our respects to Elders past and present. We extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.

Norwegian DJ oskar med k comes to Melbourne for a headline show at The Forum, as part of his 2027 Australian tour.

With his unmistakable blend of emotion, atmosphere and club-driven energy, oskar med k is set to bring his most ambitious live show yet to Australia this summer.

His breakout single “Make Me Feel” sparked a global movement, later released as a beloved remix with American singer Khalid, topping Shazam’s Global House Chart and reaching #1 at US Dance Radio.

In March 2026, oskar released his debut album, feel, opening a deeper chapter in the emotional and atmospheric world that has come to define his music. Since then, he has taken his increasingly immersive live set to sold-out audiences around the world, with career-defining performances at Coachella, Red Rocks, and Webster Hall, followed by another northern-hemisphere tour. 

2027 marks the next chapter for oskar med k; and Australians will be among some of the first to experience it.
