It’s no coincidence that the words “Melbourne” and “music” begin with the same letter. Australia’s second-most populous city is home to some of the best music around, so we thought we’d share some of the top spots to hear some tunes with you.
Organising a Melbourne CBD car hire will make moving between these amazing music venues a breeze. So, if you really want a holiday that’s jam-packed with pop, rock or jazz songs, get in touch with East Coast Car Rentals.
Tote Hotel
Located at 71 Johnston Street, Collingwood, the Tote Hotel has been hosting music events for over 31 years. They have a wide variety of music acts on almost every night, so simply rock on up and get ready to be entertained.
Both local and international rock ‘n’ roll acts grace this venue on a regular basis, and it’s just been announced that American band Murphy’s Law will be performing there in September. There are also rumours that a ghost can be found on the Tote Hotel’s staircase. Maybe it loved the music so much that they never wanted to leave?
Carnegie Hall
If you would like to reminisce about days and songs gone by, pay a visit to Carnegie Hall. This venue is renowned for organising performances and bands that play music from the 1960s and 1970s. So, get those dancing shoes on and get ready for a blast from the past at 60 Rosstown Road, Carnegie.
Visiting this venue will require a little more organisation than the rest, as they only host performances on the first and third Saturday of every month. These usually start at 20:00 and finish just after midnight, so don’t go making any early-morning breakfast plans for the following Sunday.
That’s not all…
There are far too many music venues in Melbourne to list them all here – you’ll just have to trust us that the city has a bar, hotel, club or hall to suit even the most picky of music lovers.
In addition to this, the city often hosts one-off and annual music festivals that you can organise a road-trip around. For instance, a concert titled Release the Bats is being held at the Westgate Entertainment Centre on 26 October, just in time for Halloween. So do a little internet searching and see what else you can find!
