Red Bull Music Academy Tram Jam

Overview

This article is sponsored by our partners Red Bull.

Why limit culture to bricks and mortar when you can put it on wheels? This year, we've seen a trans-American train carry masterpieces from New York to San Francisco and Melbourne Art Trams make an aesthetic journey out of our commute. Now, Red Bull is set to put Melbourne's music scene into motion.

On the final day of Melbourne Music Week (November 15-24), the Red Bull Music Academy Tram Jam will transform three trams into mobile party venues. To mark summer's imminence, the carriage interiors will be redesigned as island paradises, complete with coconuts and palm fronds. Radio selectors Edd Fisher of PBS and Chris Gill and LA Pocock of RRR will be on board as afro-tropical hosts.

Each tram will make a one-hour journey — with The Espy, Howler and The Corner Hotel as the three starting points — and finish up at The Residence, where Red Bull is planning to hold Melbourne Music Week's official closing party, Discolypso. Kicking off at midday, it'll feature international guests Awesome Tapes of Africa (USA) and Invisible Sound System (CANADA).

The Tram Jam, which will be happening between 1pm and 4pm on November 24, is free to attend, but you do need to RSVP.
