The team behind A Day on the Green is starting a new excuse to enjoy live tunes in leafy surroundings, with plans for two November weekends and a return in March 2025.
Winter has only officially just arrived in Melbourne, but the folks at the city's Royal Botanic Gardens, plus the crew behind A Day on the Green, are already thinking about spring and how to make the most of it. When the flowers start blooming again in 2024, that's when the leafy venue will first play host to a brand-new outdoor gig series in leafy surroundings: Live at the Gardens, which'll premiere this year across two November weekends.

The details are light so far, but this won't just be a one-and-done show. After its November stint, Live at the Gardens already has plans for to return in March 2025, then to become an ongoing event.
The debut lineup hasn't yet been revealed, but organisers promise that it's coming soon. Whoever takes to the stage, they'll be doing so while 5000 punters watch from the lawns of the Observatory Precinct.
As well as tunes and the scenic surroundings, the event will include dining options showcasing local vendors, plus drinks, with the specifics there also still to be unveiled.
