Having only just wrapped up their acclaimed series of mid-year concerts, the National Gallery of Victoria is set to do it all over again this summer with a lineup boasting internationally renowned mavericks, Grammy nominees, and local legends.
“The National Gallery of Victoria is pleased to offer an eclectic program of live music that will complement our two major summer exhibitions: David Hockney: Current and Viktor&Rolf: Fashion Artists,” said NGV Director Tony Ellwood.
“The combination of after-hours exhibition access and diverse live music acts has made Friday Nights one of the most popular programs on the NGV calendar.” The program is set to kick off 11th November and run through the summer into March.
Punters can expert performances from seminal ’90s Australian outfit Custard, 2000s favourites Dappled Cities, ARIA Hall of Famers Models, TISM frontman Damian Cowell, DIY hero Amanda Palmer, post-punk unit Gold Class, and local veterans PVT.
As always, a ticket to one of these performances in the Great Hall will include after-hours entry to the rest of the NGV, including their major summer exhibitions — David Hockney: Current and Viktor&Rolf: Fashion Artists — as well as DJs in the NGV Garden, talks, and food and bars.
