Melbourne Music Week have just announced their stellar first lineup

The famous Melbourne Music Week is back for yet another year, with the organisers of MMW today revealing the first lineup of this year’s festivities.

This year sees a wide variety of brilliant events, with many more to be announced still. Most notably is MISCELLANEA, a takeover of the iconic Melbourne Town Hall, spearheaded by MMW and Creative Victoria.

Taking place in various spaces throughout the Melbourne Town Hall, audiences will be treated to performances from HTRK, Underground Lovers, Tyrannamen, friendships, and a showcase from Courtney Barnett’s Milk! Records, featuring East Brunswick All Girls Choir and Fraser A. Gorman.

Los Angele muso Ariel Pink will also be in town, performing a headline performance at the Melbourne Recital Centre on November 21st, as well as hitting up Face The Music later in the week.

Also returning for 2017 is ZOO, which will see a variety of artists including Briggs, Fatima & Alexander, and Weird Together taking over Section 8 & Ferdydurke for a series of eclectic performance.

Of course, one of the biggest components of Melbourne Music Week is the annual Face The Music conference. After a brilliant lineup of speakers and performers last year, including Anthony Fantano and Dorsal Fins, Face The Music has today unveiled its first round of speakers.

Featuring the likes of the aforementioned Ariel Pink, punk legend and historian, Marky Ramone, Mallrat, triple j’s Nick Findlay, and Reeperbahn’s Bjørn Pfarr, Face The Music is set to be yet another phenomenal event, with many more speakers still to be announced.

As always, The Age Music Victoria Awards after party is set to take over 170 Russell on November 22nd, boasting an impressive lineup that includes Gold Class, Cable Ties, Gretta Ray, Jim Lawrie, and Ella Thompson. Undoubtedly, this is going to be one of the hottest tickets on offer for Melbourne Music Week.

Melbourne Music Week is set to kick of on November 17th, and will run until November 25th. Check out the full list of announced events below, and hit up the Melbourne Music Week website for more info.
