Overview

It's less than a year old, but Victoria's new statewide music program Always Live has left a giant impression on our live music calendar, filling the year with gigs from a dazzling spread of homegrown and international acts.

And to wrap up a big 2022, they've got something special in store for you — a secret free live show by legendary Zambian-born musician Sampa the Great. Yep, the ARIA Award-winning artist is dropping by Melbourne for a free gig at 1pm on Saturday, December 10.

You'll catch her at Always Live's pop-up recording studio SoundBox, which is currently hosting a program of performances, interviews and workshops in the Arts Centre Melbourne forecourt (November 30–December 11). The renowned artist will be playing hits from her celebrated, guest-packed album As Above, So Below, including 'Never Forget', which gets a run in the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever trailer.
