Where to go: live music

3 places

The Corner Hotel

The Corner Hotel on Swan Street is Melbourne's most important mid-sized live music venue: a 1,000-capacity front bar and band room that has launched or hosted every significant Australian band since the 1990s.

The Tote

The Tote on Johnston Street is Melbourne's underground rock institution: a three-room pub venue that was saved by a 2010 public campaign after liquor licence changes threatened to close it, and has since never looked back.

Howler

Howler in Brunswick is Melbourne's best outdoor music venue: a warehouse main room with an attached garden bar that hosts the city's best independent festival-scale events without the festival size.
