TRY: Getting to these Melbourne gigs.

The novelty of being able to enjoy live music again is yet to wear off for us. There’s nothing more quintessentially ‘Melbourne’ than spending Friday nights at a gig or sunny afternoons at a music festival in the Yarra Valley. With some of the world’s biggest artists touring Australia in the next couple of months alongside a host of incredible local acts, we decided to put together a gig guide to keep your calendar booked right through ’til March.

Julia Jacklin – The Forum, Feb 28th & March 1st
The darling of the Australian indie pop scene, Julia Jacklin has wooed audiences since 2016 with her direct lyrics, dreamy vocals and captivating hooks. She’s currently touring her new Aria-nominated album ‘Pre Pleasure’, which explores themes of adolescent confusion, new love and family ties. Balancing playfulness and emotion in perfect harmony, we think it’s her best yet.
