The Croxton Block Party celebrates 10 years of live music with Tropical Fuck Storm and Spiderbait headlining.
Melbourne’s beloved Croxton Bandroom has unveiled The Croxton Block Party, a massive two-day festival taking over the carpark opposite the venue on 1 and 2 November. The stacked lineup includes Tropical Fuck Storm, Cash Savage and the Last Drinks, Spiderbait, Ratcat, Floodlights, Party Dozen and Grace Cummings.
The festival marks a decade since The Croxton Block Party venue relaunched as a contemporary live music space, transforming from a quiet and largely empty venue into a vibrant fixture on Australia’s music scene.
