After the overwhelming success of its inaugural event in March, A WEEKEND In The Gardens makes a triumphant return this November with three incredible nights of music headlined by Paul Kelly, Missy Higgins and Illy.
The concerts in Melbourne’s iconic Royal Botanic Gardens take place on Friday November 17, Saturday November 18 and Sunday November 19.
Developed by the team behind the highly successful a day on the green winery series, A WEEKEND In The Gardens was instantly embraced by music lovers and brought nearly 12,000 Melburnians into the beautiful surrounds of the Gardens.
One of Australia’s most loved and respected artists, PAUL KELLY kicks off the weekend on Friday night, in the only Victorian show of his Life Is Fine national tour. Joining him is Grammy Award-winning, American folk troubadour and roots rocker STEVE EARLE and MIDDLE KIDS.
Saturday night sees ARIA Award-winning rapper and hip-hop artist ILLY head a lineup that will also feature THUNDAMENTALS, SPIT SYNDICATE and BIRDZ. The event will be hosted by JESSWAR.
One of the country’s finest singer-songwriters, MISSY HIGGINS will light up Sunday night with her irresistible melodies, poignant ballads and poetic pop songs, along with DUSTIN TEBBUTT, ALL OUR EXES LIVE IN TEXAS and HARRY JAKAMARRA.
Promoter Michael Newton of Roundhouse Entertainment says the stellar lineup across all three concerts will ensure this second event builds on the success of the first.
“The artists and audiences have responded enthusiastically to having a beautiful, intimate outdoor concert space in the Royal Botanic Gardens in the middle of this amazing city,” Michael said. “The lineup of acts is first-class, and the food and beverage options are fantastic. Along with the Royal Botanic Gardens, we are very proud to be presenting another weekend of great entertainment in the gardens.”
In addition to the outstanding lineup of music, A WEEKEND In The Gardens will again be serving up a fine feast in a vastly expanded relaxing area called The Eatery. Foodies will be tantalised with offerings from Melbourne’s most popular food trucks and operators, along with cocktails, spirits and premium beers.
