Hey everyone I’m new to Melbourne and keen on meeting people to go to gigs with or any groups that I could meet people
Would love some suggestions
Cheers

Hi, im attending a concert at northcote theatre soon of an international artist catered towards younger people. I want to get a good view (im quite short) but i am not from melbourne, so i don’t know the etiquette for northcote theatre. honestly, so i wouldn’t be as comfortable lining up all day. I am from brisbane, and i have lined up for smaller music halls (fortitude music hall), but northcote is significantly smaller than what im used to.

is Northcote comparable to the queueing culture at the Forum? is it more chill, if so what time would you recommend is a good time before the gates open to secure a good spot?

follow up question for anyone who has attended/queued at Northcote theatre, are there public toilets and food venues around? and as a solo concert goer, is it safe to take public transport back to the city at night?

thank you for your help!

i got proof of purchase too

hit me up i can give u legit including email for receipt and stuff

Got tickets with friends to see Fatboy Slim in Melbourne in March next year.

Waited YEARS for my favourite drum and bass artist, Chase and Status, to return to Melbourne... And it's ALSO on 13th March next year!

Anyone else in this predicament? Does anyone think C&S date could get moved?

Hello MM. I’m a current presenter on 3RRR FM which turns 50 this year. As part of that I’m hosting a live event at the station this Thursday night to celebrate Wheels of Steel, a show which played hip hop, R&B, house and dance music and was an early champion of the developing local hip hop scene. As part of this and to provide context, I’m trying to piece together what else was happening on Melbourne radio up to and around this time, in terms of hip hop and dance music. This is what I’ve been able to work out so far, but would love any details, names or stories from people who remember those days.

I have 2 x General Admission tickets to Benjamin Clementine's Back to Basics show at the Forum tomorrow night (Tue 20 Oct, 7:30pm, with Danika opening). Plans changed, and these deserve to go to someone who'll be swept away by that voice.

Price: $200 for both (at/below face value, not looking to profit)

Happy to sell as a pair or separately

Tickets were bought second-hand. Happy to show proof of purchase.

SIR RICHARD BISHOP LIVE IN FOOTSCRAY RECORDS (Tuesday 20th Oct)

We are excited to have Sir Richard Bishop performing a special once off all-ages performance in our shop. Best known for his work with the boundary-pushing Sun City Girls, Bishop has spent decades exploring the outer reaches of experimental guitar, drawing on everything from American primitive, ragas, global folk traditions, free improvisation, noise, drone and classic punk and rock music motifs. Joining him are local favourites/the Footscray Records house band, Kelowna Cinderblock, (formerly known as High School Students Play the Velvet Underground [one day they will be truly free of it]). This will be a shorter set from Sir Richard Bishop, offering a chance to experience his singular playing in the intimate surrounds of Footscray Records and a little taste of what's in store for the upcoming show at The Curtin on Thursday.

Starting at 7pm. Drinks will be available. Free entry. All ages. Space is very limited. Respect the space.

Selling 4 x Lily Allen tickets at Rod Laver on 29th of October. Section 13-2 row M. We originally bought the tickets for $210 each, selling for $185!!

Hello I can’t go to this show anymore, ticket up for grabs if anyone needs one

EDIT - this has now been given away thank you

Hey guys, I just wanted to share my song that came out today. It's got a long intro (I know everyone hates it but it's what called to me) and I mix and produce, everything by myself so it's not mixed amazingly but I tried my best and I would just love to see if anyone likes it.

I'm not asking for feedback cause TRUST ME I KNOW WHATS WRONG WITH IT. but I am one person who is still learning and I can only do with what knowledge I've got.

But anyway have a gander

New LP coming soon “Ornaments & Memories” 6th Nov. get in early for your vinyl copy.
