Overview

Usually when the band room is spinning, it means you've smashed a few too many tinnies and are probably feeling a little queasy. But Melbourne Music Week is serving up a much more palatable spin on the concept, transforming the Melbourne Star Observation Wheel into a windmill of floating gigs on Friday, November 15.

In keeping with the festival's signature move of creating live music venues out of unexpected spaces, Melbourne Star's Musical Menagerie will see the structure's rotating cabins each play host to a performance by a different MMW artist or act. Guests are in for a musical lucky dip of sorts, with the night's genre-diverse program featuring everything from rap, to soul jazz. Your ticket will score you a complimentary drink and entry to a randomly chosen cabin — so who knows what style of aural delights await you up there. The fun continues pre- and post-flight, with more tunes and a MMW pop-up bar in the Melbourne Star Departure Lounge.
