The Melbourne Zoo Twilight Series
Xavier Rudd, Josh Pyke and Neko Case provide some dreamy summertime tunes among the animals.
Overview
We often need to give ourselves a reason for a day at the zoo. Whether it be some friends from out of town visiting, or a babysitting gig you're unprepared for — it's rare we just allow ourselves the pleasure of eating fairy floss and staring at some monkeys. Now, to lure you in, Melbourne Zoo has announced a series of high-profile musical acts to perform in their beautiful grounds over summer. If you didn't already have a reason to go to the zoo already, you definitely do now.
Over a six-week line-up, Melbourne Zoo will play host to a variety of performers including Xavier Rudd, Josh Pyke, Fat Freddy's Drop, Something For Kate, Dick Diver, Dan Kelly and Neko Case. With a recurring theme of dreamy summertime tunes, the Twilight Series will be a perfect destination for hot and lazy nights with the option of bringing your own picnic along and chilling out on the lawn. There will also be a number of food trucks and takeaway options to supply those who may be less prepared.
Of course, your ticket cost also gets you entry into the zoo's exhibits and you'll have plenty of opportunity to roam wild among the animals. You can do so with a clear conscience too, as all proceeds from the shows go towards the zoo's work to fight wildlife extinction.
For a full lineup go to the Melbourne Zoo website, and remember, don't bring any alcohol or glass in your picnic baskets.
