Flemington Racecourse

Melburnians, it’s high time to grab a pair of drumsticks and head out for a bev, because the godfathers of Aussie pub rock have announced a tour. Cold Chisel is going on a national tour around Oz to celebrate their 50th anniversary, and we’re pleased to say it’s stopping in Melbourne. The legendary band will perform in 11 cities and regional towns across the country throughout October and November 2024. So, when is the band performing in Melbourne? Cold Chisel is playing at Flemington Racecourse on Friday, October 25 and Saturday, October 26. So strong was demand for the band in Melbourne, they've decided to circle back around for two more shows at Sidney Myer Music Bowl on November 22 and 23.  Sydney-based indie rockers The Cruel Sea and the multi-talented musician and singer Karen Lee Andrews, will be the supporting acts for both sets of dates. These shows are just about certain to sell out, so find out more and grab your tickets at the Cold Chisel website.

If your TikTok algorithm looks anything like ours, you’ve likely seen more than a few captivating videos of a techno DJ/producer playing in front of massive visuals of otherworldly beings. As the music hits its crescendo, the beings kick into gear, reaching, running and seemingly interacting with the rapt crowds below. The techno luminary in question is Anyma and he’s about to make his Australasian debut. This November, Always Live and Untitled Group have joined forces to bring the viral ‘Genesys’ show to Melbourne. On Saturday, November 23, Flemington Racecourse will host Anyma’s distinctive multidisciplinary art – it’ll be a feast for your eyes as well as your ears.  Promising avant-garde sound engineering and the largest digital screens ever seen in the Southern Hemisphere, the show will be Anyma’s only Australasian date. The show will centre around mesmerising futuristic visuals, designed to complement the soaring music.  Anyma was the first electronic artist to headline the famous Los Angeles Sphere, where he played six back-to-back, sold-out shows inspired by his ultra-successful albums Genesys and Genesys II.  Sign up for presale via this link before registrations close at 3pm on Monday, August 19. Presale begins at 4pm on the same day, before general sales kick off on Tuesday, August 20 at 9am AEST. As for prices, we’re keeping our eyes peeled for updates.

It's safe to say it's been a massive 12 months for Aussie music producer (and Melbourne local!) Dom Dolla. He's performed sell-out shows across the country, co-headlined Spilt Milk, and is now set to appear at festivals such as Coachella, Lollapalooza, Park Life and Tomorrowland. Oh, and what about the Grammy nomination for his remix of the Gorillaz track ‘New Gold’, and the back-to-back appearances in the top five of Triple J’s Hottest 100 with 'Saving Up' and 'Rhyme Dust'?  Phew! And now, Dolla's just announced a massive national tour that will see him visit Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Brisbane. When is Dom Dolla playing in Melbourne?  After two record-breaking shows at Sidney Myer Music Bowl, Dom Dolla will take it up a notch with epic headline performances at Flemington Racecourse on December 13 and 14, 2024. The December 13 show has been added to the tour due to popular demand during presale. Dolla will also perform in Sydney, Perth and Brisbane through November and December in what will be his largest-ever shows. How can I get tickets to the Melbourne Dom Dolla shows and how much do they cost? Presale has now ended, but there are still some tickets left. The remaining tickets will go on sale at 12pm on Tuesday, February 20 here. What will the Dom Dolla Melbourne shows be like? If his shows at Sidney Myer Music Bowl last year were anything to go by, strap yourself in for one helluva gig. We're talking lasers, insane pyrotechnics and maybe even a couple of special gues
