Melbourne Music Week (MMW) returns 15 to 23 November for a nine-day celebration of the city’s thriving, world-renowned music scene. Driven by its vision as a uniquely Melbourne event - it is the only event of its type in Australia.
MMW teams up with a range of independent promoters, venues and labels to create a dynamic program that illuminates the connections between music, people and places.
Built on the reputation for re-imaging spaces for creative use, each year has a different flagship venue, such as the Argus Building in 2012, the Former Royal Women’s Hospital in 2015, and – last year – Acmi.
From intimate, interactive experiences in non-traditional venues to headline performances at Melbourne Town Hall, the program is a direct result of the depth and diversity of Melbourne’s creative music industry.
MMW is proudly presented by City of Melbourne.

Top players from the United States are pitted against an International Team culled from the ranks of the finest golfers outside Europe. The aura of international cooperation and civility that permeates the tournament has not served to cool the competitive fire that burns within these players.
The competition on the international team’s home soil promises to deliver the most exciting opportunity for the international and U.S team to break the tie that remains from two past playings at this illustrious golf course.
