Renowned Melbourne music festival, Live N Local, have announced their return for 2017 by unleashing another awesome lineup.
The free festival will take over Melbourne’s City of Port Phillip from August 19th to 26th, and will see numerous venues open their doors to host and support live music. Likewise, musicians will also have a unique opportunity to help hone their skills thanks to the extensive artist development program being run by the festival.
Starting the festivities with a pop-up party at the Acland Plaza, the following week will see musicians such as La Bastard, The Vasco Era’s Sid O’Neill, Jess Ribeiro, and Thando all delivering sublime performances to eager crowds.
