When it comes to music, few places can rival the energy and diversity of Live Music Victoria. From hidden laneway bars in the CBD to sprawling open-air festivals, Victoria has built a reputation as the beating heart of Australia’s music culture.
At the centre is Melbourne’s live music scene, recognised worldwide for its constant flow of gigs, festivals, and emerging talent.

Of course, no scene is complete without its venues. Victoria boasts some of the most iconic Melbourne venues, like The Forum, The Corner Hotel, and Northcote Social Club. Each has hosted legendary performances and continues to nurture rising talent.
Beyond the city, regional Victoria gigs offer a chance to experience live music in intimate, community-driven settings—from Bendigo to Ballarat and everywhere in between.
