ALWAYS LIVE is back and it's headed our way!

Their brand new regional live music series, Victorian Vibes, will kick off right here in Ballarat this Saturday 18 April.

To be kept in the loop with everything Victorian Vibes Ballarat, you can register via ALWAYS LIVE's Eventbrite page or come back here for further updates.

ARTISTS JUST ANNOUNCED:

Plus, ALWAYS LIVE’s partnership with The Push will showcase Ballarat emerging act Apples. Come out and support these talented local musos.

Stay tuned to ALWAYS LIVE’s official channels to find out at which unexpected locations across the Ballarat CBD the performances will take place.

Victorian Vibes comes off the back of last summer's Melbourne Vibes, which saw the likes of Jimmy Barnes, The Teskey Brothers, Guy Sebastian, Mallrat and Adalita light up streets and laneways across the Melbourne CBD.

Following the Ballarat gigs, the pop-up series will hit the road, landing in a new regional Victorian town every second weekend through to late June.

Supported by the Victorian Government through Visit Victoria, Victorian Vibes forms part of ALWAYS LIVE’s broader mission to strengthen Victoria’s music ecosystem and deliver live music experiences that reflect the full identity of the state, reinforcing its position as Australia’s live music capital.

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
