Strap yourself in – the best week of the year kicks off this Friday. Melbourne Music Week will return for incarnation #6, and to celebrate, we’re running a special competition that will undoubtedly get any live music lover salivating.
Found inside one copy of tomorrow’s issue of Beat (#1499, hitting the streets on Wednesday morning) is a black and white ticket. What does that ticket get you into, you ask? Every single show at the Melbourne Music Week flagship venue this year – the disused basement and adjoining rooms of the Former Royal Women’s Hospital on Swanston St. That’s right, every show. You’ll even be able to bring a mate along.
That means you’ll be able to go to the Roller Jam and Rizky’s Block Party, PVT’s ten-year anniversary show, DZ Deathrays tearing it up with New War and Darts and the Morning Gloryville pre-breakfast rave. That’s not to mention the likes of Cobblestone Jazz, Mathew Jonson, Monolake, Gypsy and the Cat, Dr Dunks, Secret Circuit and so much more.
I know what you’re thinking – you’re gonna need a hint, as over 30,000 copies of Beat go out every week. So take this piece of advice: the copy of Beat that the ticket is within is located somewhere in the CBD in a venue that is officially participating in MMW 2015.
