YO Events are proud to present the 2025 BendiGLOW Youth Fest – a free neon, glowing, music, art and skate celebration of young people set to take place at Bendigo Exhibition Centre from 3pm – 9pm on Saturday September 20, 2025.
BendiGLOW will feature a Battle of the Bands, free learn-to-skate workshops, art workshops, laser tag, UV facepainting, market stalls, food trucks and more.
Presented by young people for young people, this vibrant event will be lit with UV lighting to create a glowing experience for all attendees. Want to really shine? festival-goers are encouraged to wear neon, white, or bright colours to make the most of the UV effect.
Battle of the Bands finalists Spinach and Rocket, Electric Heads, Deathcap, Apples, Around the Fall, Bunk Brain, Two Steps Forward and Dead Silver will be competing on the day to win awesome prizes. So come support and cheer on these young bands, and see who takes the first prize spot!
Winners will be announced at the end of the event, following performances by our two young headline acts: The Chans and The Unknown.
Live Music Bendigo from Phoenix FM will be broadcasting Battle of the Bands sets live from BendiGLOW – so if you can’t make it in person, tune in to Phoenix FM 106.7 on the day to hear the bands give it their all.
BendiGLOW Youth Fest is supported by Amplify and Victorian Youth Fest, both Victorian Government initiatives that support young people to get involved in their community by planning and running drug, smoke, vape and alcohol-free music and cultural events for other young people.
Entry is free but donations are welcome to support YO Events Programs.
BendiGLOW Youth Fest will be safe and secure with no pass-outs.
Attendance is welcome by young people, friends, families, the community, and anyone keen to support the next generation of music!
