Live music venues in Melbourne
Victorian crowds and venues have a long and celebrated tradition of nurturing live music, and have supported the formation of acts like AC/DC, Crowded House and more recently Jet and Wolfmother. Visiting superstars and local legends alike play Melbourne’s huge venues like Melbourne Park, Festival Hall or the Melbourne Concert Hall and a healthy pub band circuit ensures that on most nights you can find a rousing mix of hopefuls and seasoned rockers.
