Things change fast in this modern world, and especially in a city as audacious as this one.
And especially especially in spring, the season of holiday festival lineup drops, emerging talent incubators and unbelievably juicy market-fresh citrus.
In case you’ve been out of the loop, big things are happening. For example, they’re trying to make the Yarra swimmable again. To that, we say anything’s swimmable if you’re brave enough (and well stocked with antibiotics).
What else, you ask? Well, Fringe is on the horizon, set to spread sequins, feathers and performing arts prowess all across town. Eddy Current Suppression Ring are out of hiding (cue tears of joy) and playing a big free Fed Square bash. John Butler’s set to release the album that made him want to quit music, The Runaway’s starlet Cherie Currie is hitting Australia one last time and LA-based duo The Army, The Navy are dishing out soul-stirring harmonies on their debut run.
All we’re saying is that you better hold on to that ratty bleached baseball cap, because this one’s gonna take you on a wild ride.
