Red Bull Melbourne Unlocked

Overview

Live music and heaving dance floors have been scarcer than normal these past two years, but this weekend, Red Bull invites you to dive right back in the deep end. They're teaming up with some of Melbourne's favourite venues, club nights and programmers to deliver an epic ode to local nightlife, held across one huge weekend.

From Friday, March 25–Sunday, March 27, Red Bull Melbourne Unlocked will descend on Kensington's multi-level creative hub The Hoi Polloi with a stacked program of gigs, activations, food pop-ups, mini raves and other nightlife experiences — all under one roof, with free entry.

You'll catch an immersive rave room from Novel and Glamorama; a gaming precinct by Ballers Clubhouse; a pop-up edition of the Palais Theatre hosting performances and other fun courtesy of Poof Doof and Chasers; and even a spin-off version of Madame Brussel's famed roof terrace.

Pawn & Co, 29th Apartment and Storyville will reimagine their signature offerings as a raucous indoor boat party, while Laundry makes an appearance via an onsite hip hop and rap club.

Across these activations, you'll catch a jam-packed lineup of gigs and performances, from artists like Cassettes For Kids, Nina Las Vegas, Tornado Wallace, Amyl & The Sniffers and Elsy Wameyo.

The fun starts from 6pm each night and it's free to head along, though you'll have to RSVP online to secure your spot.
