Castlemaine Idyll Kids Karaoke 2026: Registration Process
We’re super excited that Castlemaine Idyll Kids Karaoke (CIKK!) will be returning for the second time, as part of our 2026 event.
Here is some information on the process this year:
The small stage at lot19 will be handed over to the under-16s from 1:30-3:00pm. Spectacular Scott and Brilliant Briega will once again host the stage.
CIKK! Registration is FREE, and open to Castlemaine Idyll ticket-holders only. There are VERY limited slots, so participation will be first in, best dressed. Registrations close on 28 Feb, or when full.
Just like the big stage, we’re prioritising performers who are new to the Idyll stages. Superstars who participated in 2025 will be added to the waitlist.
Scott will offer a stage & mic technique session after school in the week leading up to Idyll, which is now being held at 4pm on Tuesday 10 March at Wesley Hill Hall. Thanks Scott 🙂

Much love & excitement,

Idylls Gone By -
Idyll 2023
Castlemaine Idyll is Castlemaine’s ultimate annual talent contest, and has been running for over 12 years.
Featuring hot local talent, a hugely talented professional band, celebrity judges and a community uniting joyously in support, the theme for Idyll 2023 is ‘Shine’. First and foremost a ridiculous amount of fun, Castlemaine Idyll is also the annual fundraiser for lot19 artspace.
Idyll 2022
A joyous crowd of all ages gathered at Lot 19 on Sunday March 20 for Castlemaine Idyll 2022 – one of our favourite Idylls yet!
Hosted by our regular MC Dion Brownfield, the event also featured a beautiful Acknowledgement of Country from Nalderun CEO Kathryn Coff, who encouraged event-goers to remove their shoes and connect with country.
People’s feet certainly got a workout dancing and celebrating musical treats to the theme of ‘Chutzpah’. The band, backing singers, and performers gave it their absolute best – which was glorious for all involved. A massive thanks to all of them for bringing such joy and a shout out to all the wonderful volunteers, the event team, our judges Clementine Ford, Patrick Furze and Aurora Kurth, Shedshaker Brewing for running the bar, and MainFM for their live broadcast. You can listen back to Castlemaine Idyll 2022 via the MainFM website.
