The final dash: Seven Melbourne Music Week gigs you can’t miss before the festival finishes up

Melbourne Music Week finishes up in just a month!

As we look into the third and final month of the Melbourne Music Week – Extended program, we almost wish it didn’t have to end. Thankfully, the sheer happiness and joy brought by December through January’s offerings need not cease – MMW’s latest lineup announcement has blessed us in the most thrilling of ways.

Rounding out the summer are newly released nights with favourite acts you might have missed out on earlier, like Ara Koufax and Simona Castricum’s cinematic hybrid show and CLAMM at The Curtin.

Whether you’re into rock, punk, electronic or techno, whether you’re savouring a return to live music post-2020, or just there for the cultural collisions in genre across all forms of the arts, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

We’ve pulled together our picks for the festival’s final dash, so get stuck in before all the tickets are snapped up.

Happy dancing!
