There’s a 12 hour party taking over multiple venues in Northcote this weekend

Northcote
words by staff writer

Northcote institution High Note celebrates its third birthday with a huge party featuring sets from Gilles Peterson (UK), MC Rob Galliano, Alcides Neto, Marley Swain, Selena, Sisterdeep and more.

Time flies when you’re having fun, and High Note Turns 3 in Northcote this Saturday 14 November with Gilles Peterson on the decks.

High Note Turns 3 feat. Gilles Peterson (UK) + MC Rob Galliano will fill the Northcote Theatre with a six-hour, start-to-finish set from the British broadcaster and Brownswood Recordings head, with Rob Galliano on the mic.

Peterson has spent more than four decades weaving together underground jazz, club music and sounds from around the globe.

And his history with Melbourne runs deep, having put together the Sunny Side Up compilation of local artists back in 2019.

The idea is to turn the whole theatre complex into one huge, multi-room club.

Northcote’s High Note Turns 3

  • Where: Northcote Theatre and High Note, 220 High Street, Northcote
  • When: 14 November, theatre doors open at 7pm
  • Age: 18+, licensed and standing room
  • Tickets here

For the birthday, High Note is opening its bar, the Studio, the Event Space and the Northcote Theatre all at once, and handing the controls to the collectives that have shaped its story so far.

Music In Exile is looking after the Event Space with live sets and selections from Alcides Neto (live), DJ Matab, Selena, Sisterdeep and Rah b2b Langai.

Over in the Studio, Skylab Radio is on the decks with Marley Swain, Chuleo FM, Northside Records DJs, High Note Soundsystem, Karani b2b $ookylala and Raphael Wall b2b Bonnita.

Food and drink are sorted too. Bar Merenda is running a day-to-night food and wine pop-up, and Monkey Shoulder whiskey is on drinks duty.
