Friday Nights at Melbourne Now
See out this huge exhibition with some free gigs from the likes of World's End Press and Big Scary.
Overview
If you haven't got along to see Melbourne Now yet, you've been missing out. As the largest exhibition in the NGV's history, it's not only doing huge things for contemporary art, but also for the city of Melbourne at large. Now, from February 28 onwards, Melbourne Now will be supporting Australian music too with the inclusion of a late-night program featuring some amazing local indie bands.
The initiative, Friday Nights at Melbourne Now, follows on from last year's successful Friday Nights at Monet's Garden and features a stellar line-up of bands you would usually be paying $20 entry for at The Corner. For four consecutive Fridays, the NGV will be graced with the good vibes of World's End Press, Big Scary, Brighter Later, and Hiatus Kaiyote on a pop-up stage in the Great Hall of the NGV International. There will also be pop-up talks from artists, late-night access to the exhibition, and a range of food and drink offerings to tide you over for the evening. Better yet — the shows will be completely free.
Get down to the NGV on February 28 for World's End Press, March 7 for Big Scary, March 14 for Brighter Later or March 21 for Hiatus Kaiyote. The full exhibition, Melbourne Now, will be on display at both the Ian Potter Centre and the NGV International until March 23.
