Presented as part of On The Road Again, a Victorian Government Initiative aimed at bringing back live music across the state, this is the biggest, boldest and most audacious lineup in Illuminate the River’s three-year history. There’s also going to be an inflatable regatta, carnival rides, kids’ activities, food trucks, a beer garden and extravagant laser and water show on the river.
“People will be so excited to have the chance to see artists of this calibre in Moonee Valley,” said Mayor of Moonee Valley City Council, Samantha Byrne. “The fact that they can also see them for free is something they might even find hard to believe – but it’s real alright!”
“Add to that all the other entertainment that will be on offer for the whole family, and it adds up to a day not to be missed. Start planning your public transport journeys now.”
