Time Out says

Melbourne’s much-loved outdoor music festival returns with a star-studded lineup of musicians, comedians, DJs and family-friendly events

Live at the Bowl is once again taking over the iconic Sidney Myer Music Bowl with home-grown acts and international artists joining the four-month-long music festival. 

Held by Arts Centre Melbourne, Live at the Bowl will run from January to April 2023 and host music, dance, community-led and family-friendly events across multiple days and nights of the week. 

The blockbuster lineup includes the Arctic Monkeys, Bon Iver, Boris Brejcha, Darren Hayes, Kehlani and Lorde. For families, ARIA award-winning children’s band Teeny Tiny Stevies is performing, while classical lovers can once again enjoy free MSO concerts and experience Tchaikovsky, Melbourne in Mosaics and Carmina Burana.

To kick off pride season, the fifth Midsumma Extravaganza will see drag artists perform alongside musical acts and some of Australia’s best comedians. Meanwhile, the immersive show Synthony is back to party the night away with its unique blend of live orchestra, vocalists, instrumentalists and DJs.

Food and drink are available through a number of different food trucks at every performance and five on-site bars selling wine, beer, cider, spirits, cocktails, seltzers and non-alcoholic options. You can also BYO a picnic – just keep in mind there are a number of prohibited items.
