The St Kilda institution has delivered yet another month of sing-along choruses, fan favourites and musical powerhouses.
A gig at Memo Music Hall isn’t like any other. When you buy a ticket and check out a show there, you’re becoming part of Melbourne’s live music history.
First conceptualised in the 1920s following the First World War, the venue was designed by the winners of an architecture competition, Messrs, Hudson & Wadrop, who then went on to design the Shrine of Remembrance. Since then, it’s been a place of public gathering and entertainment, beloved by all who enter its hallowed halls.
Whether you’re a frequent visitor or a first-time fan, there’s never been a better month to check out the spot. Here’s what’s on in July.
