Melbourne Star's Musical Menagerie
Melbourne's tourist wheel will host intimate gigs with local musicians.
Overview
Remember when Melbourne's new observation wheel broke 40 days after opening and took three years to rebuild? Well, that was in the past and all is forgiven, because this year the Melbourne Star is hosting one of the most inspired events of Melbourne Music Week.
If you buy a ticket on Friday, November 23, a musician will be waiting for you in your cabin. Who exactly it will be isn't known, but with artists anging from acoustic guitarists to rappers and DJs, your performer could be exactly your cup of tea — or not. But that's half the fun. Tickets are $34 and will get you a complimentary drink and two rotations on the wheel.
