Thando, Lady Lash @ State Library Forecourt
Want something to help you get your soggy tomato sandwiches down easier? Then head along to the Lunch Box sessions, a special music event series that will see established musicians belting out sets in the perfect surrounds of the State Library Forecourt. First up is Zimbabwe-born R&B charmer Thando, a veteran musician well known for her hypnotising live shows. She’ll be supported by Lady Lash, a genre-defying prodigy who mixes up both rap and soulful singer/songwriter crooning
Palm Springs @ State Library Forecourt
Don’t worry folks: though even the title of the Morning Ritual events series implies you’ll have to wake up at the crack of dawn in order to enjoy yourself some live music, in actuality the gigs in question don’t kick off until 10.30am. So that means you’ve got no excuse for not catching a set from rising singer/songwriter Palm Springs. Get on it.
Love Live Music @ Melbourne Cricket Ground
The one-day celebration of local and national talents is set to transform The ‘G into a heaving celebration of all things indie pop, with chart-busting heroes The Delta Riggs and Pierce Brothers headlining the day. It all kicks off at 2pm.
The Drones @ Melbourne Town Hall
The Drones are an unmissable proposition live, and, with new record Feelin’ Kinda Free in tow, are ready to transform the Town Hall into a heaving mass of bodies and sounds. Just as excitingly, ol’ mates My Disco are playing too, providing a perfect pairing of support and headliner. Don’t miss out, particularly because tickets are already going fast.
Foreign Brothers @ State Library Forecourt
Another great gig opportunity to be held at the State Library Forecourt, the Foreign Brothers have curated an unmissable day of music and art. There will be a range of performers and DJs on hand, including musicians Hussey and Danny OSX spinning wax, and a star-studded series of spoken word sets, guided and curated by Wani Le Frere. Phew. What more could you want? It’s all going from 2pm until 10, so you have eight whole hours to soak it all up.
