Since it first hit record stores in 1975, Patti Smith's Horses has regularly been cited as one of the most influential rock albums of all time. Now, some four decades later, its creator's spiritual descendants will show you exactly why that is. Presented by the Melbourne Festival, Australian musicians Courtney Barnett, Jen Cloher, Gareth Liddiard and Adalita will perform Barnett's album in its entirety to a packed audience at Hamer Hall. Tickets to the first show sold out in a flash, prompting organisers to put together a second. Don't miss out twice.
This event is one of our top ten picks of the Melbourne Festival. Check out the other nine.
