Eight unmissable gigs to see at Live at the Bowl this January
Words by Eva Marchingo
The outdoor summer concert series is reinvigorating Melbourne’s live entertainment scene.
From January, Melbourne’s beloved Sidney Myer Music Bowl will be transformed into a hotspot (the good kind) of the best live acts in Australia.
A joint initiative by Arts Centre Melbourne and the Victorian government, Live at the Bowl will play host to a series of Australian events and performances held over several weeks.
This season of celebration will help us rediscover the joy of live music and shared experiences, this time in a COVID-Safe environment. Expect to see social distancing, an abundance of hand sanitiser, QR codes for mobile phone registration, and regular cleaning, all to keep punters safe.
