Additionally, the much-beloved, ARIA Award-winning children’s band Teeny Tiny Stevies are taking to the stage for a special outdoor family friendly concert.

With the Midsumma Extravaganza set to kick off Australia’s largest pride season with comedy royalty Joel Creasy and Kween Kong hosting comedians Nina Oyama, Rhys Nicholson and Scout Boxall and performances from Courtney Act, Kira Puru, Mama Alto, Dolly Diamond, Tash York, Tina Del Twist and the hilarious Steven Oliver – all on the Sidney Myer Music Bowl stage.

“It’s a joy to see the return of Live at the Bowl for a third year,” said Arts Centre Melbourne CEO Karen Quinlan AM. “To me, the breadth of the upcoming program shows exactly why this city thrives and how much it contributes to the live performance sector.”

“It’s such a wonderful way to gather with your favourite people to see some world-class artists. I can’t wait to be sitting up on the hill with you all enjoying some great live music.”
