Melbourne Music Week

Overview

If there’s one thing we take seriously in Melbourne, it’s our music, man. Now in its second year, Melbourne Music Week celebrates our city’s commitment to the grand tradition of the live gig, with around two hundred acts playing a stack of venues around town.

The old Argus Building, temporarily renamed the Where?House,  is being used as the Festival Hub, pumping out tunes day and night, while a slew of local bands will be playing everywhere from popular venues like the Toff, Bennett's Lane and Cherry Bar to more offbeat settings such as Melbourne University's underground car park.

You can have indie pop for breakfast and punk for lunch, or even rock out on a tram.  The “week” runs for nine days, there’s so much on, and peaks on the 22nd, when ten venues are putting on free gigs for the Live Music Safari.  It will most certainly rock.
