Live at Melbourne Street Green

Overview

When the working week is done, folks just wanna have fun. We're paraphrasing Cyndi Lauper because she knows what she's singing about. If your idea of taking her advice involves listening to ace musos belt out a few tunes, then QPAC's Live at Melbourne Street Green is the Friday afternoon session you're looking for.

All about live performances, tasty bites to eat and kicking back a stone's throw from the inner city, the regular event offers an ace start to your weekend from 5.30–7.30pm. Across its first season for 2025, running through autumn and into winter, it's happening most weeks except when Friday falls on a public holiday — so there's no tunes on Friday, April 18 or Friday, April 25.

Otherwise, each week you can enjoy the cooler weather with an outdoor songfest. The music lineup changes, with Elements Collective, Omiya and  talents from Queensland Conservatorium Griffith University all set to do the honours.

Food-wise, you can grab a bite from Storytellers, which means burgers, yiros, mezze platters, fish and chips, gourmet toasties and more — while sipping wine and beer, including of the non-alcoholic variety. Entry is free, but you'll obviously have to pay for the eating and drinking part of the evening.
