The first venue, known as The Paddock, is a never-before-used space located behind Federation Square and Birrarung Marr. The second venue, known as Testing Grounds, is located behind the Arts Centre and played host to Piknic’s Australia Day celebrations last month. Piknic will alternate between the two venues for the rest of the summer, with the remaining February shows to be held at Testing Grounds and the first show at The Paddock taking place on Sunday March 1.
