Overview
Fourteen of Melbourne's best live music venues throw open their doors for a night of free gigs and wild parties. No matter where you are in the city, there'll be a venue near you that will be getting in on the action for Melbourne Music Week, including establishments such as Loop Bar, Boney, Shebeen, Cherry Bar and Ding Dong Lounge. While we're extremely confident you could stumble into any of these venues and be exceptionally happy, we're going to recommend the St Jerome's Laneway Festival curated lineup of forward-thinking artists Fractures, Totally Mild, and Crepes at Thousand Pound Bend. If you are feeling a little more rambunctious, we'd definitely point you in the direction of The Public Bar for Mesa Cosa, The Mighty Boys, and Lazertits.
