Overview
After the enormous success of their Friday Nights series, the NGV are taking things up a notch. In a move to finally bridge the divide between gallery and all-out art party, this Melbourne institution is setting up a weekly music festival to run on every Sunday for the remainder of summer. And here's the best bit: it's all totally free.
Taking place in the garden at NGV International, Summer Sundays will operate in collaboration with Mushroom Music and, because of this, all bands involved will be much-loved Melbourne locals. Everything will be kicking off on Sunday, February 1 with bluesy singer-songwriter Lanie Lane from 1-7pm. This will then be followed up by appearances from festival favourites World's End Press, indie four-piece Husky, and the always excellent Alpine.
Of course, there wouldn't be any proper festival vibes with just one act. Each band will be backed up by DJs and smaller local outfits. There will also be Mambo-themed tents to chill out in courtesy of the ongoing retrospective at the Ian Potter Centre, as well as beers from local microbreweries and feeds from Huxtaburger.
Summer Sundays take place in the Grollo Equiset Garden adjacent to NGV International from 1 - 7pm.
