Melbourne has long been known as the live music capital of Australia.
Indeed, with a wide range of venues across the city playing host to numerous bands almost every night of the week, and producing such internationally successful acts such as Spiderbait, The Dirty Three, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Lucksmiths, The Avalanches, Hunters & Collectors, and many more, it could be argued that Melbourne is one of the great live music capitals of the world.
