Outdoor Cinema

A free all-ages show for Amyl And The Sniffers at Melbourne's Federation Square came to a sudden halt after large sections of the crowd pushed through perimeter fencing, creating an immediate safety risk. The event, announced as a surprise hometown performance during the band's break from supporting AC/DC on the current world tour, drew thousands into the CBD with expectations of a rare cost-free appearance.

Melbourne will be hit with a blast of homegrown rock fury this Friday 14 November when Amyl And The Sniffers return to the city for a surprise free concert at Fed Square.

Melbourne’s Fed Square has revealed another huge wave of free outdoor music events, with Victorian psychedelic heavyweights King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Detroit house icon Moodymann, and local DJ legend DJ JNETT leading a packed summer schedule. The new series builds on an incredible run of major shows across the past year that have seen thousands gather in the heart of the city for some of Australia’s most memorable live moments.

Melbourne is turning the volume all the way up as the city prepares to welcome home one of its most iconic exports, AC/DC. In a nod to the legendary band's roots, hundreds of Victorian bagpipers will descend on Fed Square on Wednesday 12 November for The Great Melbourne Bagpipe Bash, an event set to recreate one of the most famous moments in Australian rock history and attempt a world record at the same time.
