Melbourne’s massive new arts festival Now or Never is set to take the city by storm this month, running from August 17 to September 2.
The program is incredibly versatile, but one of the clear highlights will be the transformation of the Royal Exhibition Building into a 4,000 capacity concert venue, set to feature this month’s cover star – legendary Melbourne DJ and pro- ducer CC:DISCO! – in her triumphant homecoming.
There are so many amazing artists playing in Melbourne over the next few weeks. This month, we have the privilege to speak with the one-and-only G Flip, Scottish chart-toppers The Snuts, You Am I (who’ll be performing The Who’s Tommy), ex-Little Birdy frontwoman Katy Steele, breakout indie darling Tyne-James Organ, and ANAM’s acclaimed composer Michael Kieran Harvey. In one of our personal highlights, we have a long chat with the director of Ego: The Michael Gudinski Story, the landmark doco debuting at Melbourne International Film Festival this month.
Then we have our usual range of album reviews and our monthly art, stage, festival, gig and venue guides, plus a brand new section called High Fidelity!
