The new pop up live music and performing arts precinct will open at the beginning of March within the city of Yarra’s iconic Burnley Circus Site.
Slated to open early March, Reunion Park is Melbourne’s newest outdoor pop-up concert venue thanks to the Untitled Group, the team behind the likes of Beyond The Valley, Ability Fest, Grapevine Gathering, Pitch Music & Arts and Wildlands.
As expected from the Untitled Group, in collaboration with Velodrome Events, Reunion Park will be a celebration of Melbourne’s vibrant culture, providing a vital outdoor venue setting for artists and audiences to reunite and enjoy what Melbourne does best — Arts, Music & Culture.
Keep up with the latest music news, festivals, interviews and reviews here.
Located within the city of Yarra’s iconic Burnley Circus Site, only 15 minutes from Melbourne CBD, the new venue will play host to concerts, day festivals and performing arts shows from March 4th until April 10th 2022, featuring artists like King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Spacey Jane, Northlane, Wolfmother, BENEE, L.A.B and many more. The pop up will also feature a diverse range of performing arts shows including high flying circus performances, food and drink delights, and a programme of spectacular comedy shows as part of the venue’s Melbourne Comedy Festival hub. As for festivals, the venue will host the inaugural Uncaged Festival with Wolfmother, You Am I, Shihad and more, and Full Tilt Festival with Northlane, In Heart Wake, Luca Brasi and more, with more events to be announced soon.
“When we first conceptualised Reunion Park in 2020 we knew it would be a challenge, but did not anticipate nearly two years of lockdowns before it would become a reality or prove as crucial an event series for the Australian live entertainment industry. The project could not have happened without the support of the Federal government’s RISE fund, but equally as important that of Yarra City Council whose support of local and Australian artists has been unwavering,” says Chris Mitchell, Velodrome Events.
“We feel blessed to have the opportunity to bring together such an eclectic program of musicians and performing artists, and play a part in helping return confidence in our industry that despite all odds, the show must go on!”
Mitchell has been producing music festivals and performing arts in Melbourne since 1999, and was responsible for the creation of brands including early 2000’s underground beats brand Fractured, the award-winning Red Bennies performing arts venue, Coburg Velodrome Events and Duke Street Block Party. He is a partner and creative director of recently opened Abbots Yard and soon to be opened Northcote Theatre.
