Following a huge first year, Garage Band is BACK and ready to welcome a fresh batch of budding musos to the big stage. ALWAYS LIVE and internationally acclaimed artist Joseph O’Farrell (JOF) will be inviting 25 young bands from across the state to perform LIVE at Fed Square this October, giving them the opportunity to wow crowds in the heart of Melbourne.

With 2022 alumni going on to play with the likes of Mia Wray and Tex Perkins, release their own music, and garner media interest from right across the country, Garage Band has fast solidified itself as a pivotal jumping-off point for the next generation of Victorian musical talent.

REGIONAL WORKSHOP RSVPS NOW OPEN

ALWAYS LIVE and JOF will be heading to Ulumbarra Theatre in Bendigo on Sat 22 July 11am-2pm to talk about all things Garage Band! There'll be free food, live music, and industry chat free to anyone wanting to learn more about the process of applying and playing. Simply fill out the form in the link below to RSVP and we’ll be in touch with more details.

ALWAYS LIVE supports our thriving communities including First Nations, female and non-binary, LGBTQIA+, culturally and linguistically diverse, Deaf and Disabled artists, industry workers and audiences. It will also champion the independent and emerging sectors.

This event is part of ALWAYS LIVE, a state-wide celebration of contemporary live music supported by the Victorian Government through Visit Victoria.
