Bendigo is set to become the next stop on ALWAYS LIVE’s Victorian Vibes tour, with the live music series bringing a free day of performances to the Goldfields city on Saturday 30 May.
The regional music initiative has already drawn strong crowds across Victoria, most recently transforming Traralgon into a live music hub last weekend. Headlined by Boy & Bear, the event also featured performances from Belair Lip Bombs, JACOTÉNE and local artist Dane Nicholls, with audiences filling the Latrobe Valley town from afternoon through to evening.
ALWAYS LIVE CEO Psyche Payne said: “Every stop in the Victorian Vibes series has its own unique personality and appeal. The audiences bring the energy, the artists bring the goods, and Traralgon was the perfect host for another joyful day of exploration and excitement.”
Now the focus shifts to Bendigo, a city known for its grand gold rush architecture, strong arts culture and thriving local community. Organisers say the city is a natural fit for the Victorian Vibes series, which aims to celebrate regional Victoria through free live music experiences.
Quotes attributable to Premier and Member for Bendigo East Jacinta Allan: “This series shines a spotlight on regional Victoria, giving interstate and international audiences another reason to discover places like Bendigo for themselves.”
“After seeing visitors travel from all over Australia for shows in Traralgon, Lorne and Ballarat – we’re looking forward to an event in our own backyard, which will be a big boost for local businesses.”
Quote from the Minister for Tourism, Natalie Suleyman MP: “We’re excited to announce the next location of the ALWAYS LIVE Victoria Vibes series, bringing incredible free live music to Bendigo. Another great reason to visit regional Victoria, experience Bendigo and spend some time supporting local small and family businesses.”
Artists and exact locations will be announced closer to the event through ALWAYS LIVE’s digital channels. Attendees must register via alwayslive.com.au to receive performance details ahead of the day.
