ALWAYS LIVE is back for 2024, with hundreds of artists set to pack out live music venues and bring thousands of visitors to Victoria from this November.
Premier Jacinta Allan and Tourism, Sport and Major Events Minister Steve Dimopoulos joined Aussie music icons Missy Higgins and Baker Boy alongside ALWAYS LIVE chair Matt Gudinski and chief executive Psyche Payne at the Corner Hotel in Richmond to announce a jam-packed program to run from November 22 to December 8.
This year’s ALWAYS LIVE program features more than 65 events, including stadium shows, exclusive gigs, and intimate performances. Of the program’s 289 artists, 208 hail from Victoria.
Headlining this year’s program is Italian-American DJ and producer Anyma, who will take over Flemington Racecourse in an international exclusive. Anyma recently sold out six nights at the Sphere in Vegas – now he’s coming to Victoria.
Tina Arena will perform at Mornington Racecourse for the 30th anniversary of her smash hit album Don’t Ask, where she’ll be joined by Richard Marx, Daryl Braithwaite, and Kate Ceberano.
Missy Higgins will cap off her sold-out tour with a unique show alongside guests Dan Sultan and Mia Wray at Sidney Myer, and an inclusive and interactive First Nations celebration of song and dance will come to Federation Square.
The White Stripes’ Jack White will perform at Ballarat’s Civic Hall and the Corner Hotel in Richmond, and punk rock legends The Offspring will perform a one-night-only show at Forum Theatre.
Roísín Murphy will headline a queer party in Port Melbourne, and St. Vincent will host an intimate dinner, Q&A and performance at Crown Aviary.
The Push All Ages Regional Tour will host all-ages shows in Geelong, Bendigo, Wangaratta and Horsham, and ALWAYS LIVE’s youth music project Garage Band will help emerging bands make their debut.
