Featuring Boy & Bear, San Cisco & Amy Shark Saturday 11 March 2017
Melbourne’s iconic Royal Botanic Gardens is set to come alive with music with the announcement today of a brand new concert event beginning next year - A WEEKEND In The Gardens.
Developed by the team behind the highly successful A Day On The Green winery series, A WEEKEND In The Gardens’ inaugural event will take place on the March Long Weekend with three amazing concerts on Friday March 10, Saturday March 11 and Sunday March 12.
A WEEKEND In The Gardens is all about bringing music lovers to the Gardens to enjoy the beautiful environment on a summer’s night while experiencing great live entertainment.
On Saturday March 11 indie-rock faves Boy & Bear will head up a must-see line-up with San Cisco and Amy Shark. Currently on a huge tour around Australia, Boy & Bear continue to thrill their huge fan base with unforgettable live shows. Under the stars in the Botanic Garden is a venue match made in heaven!
If their irresistible new single SloMo is any indication, San Cisco will be providing more than a little bit of perfect pop in their set, while Amy Shark’s Adore signals her arrival as an amazing singer/songwriter on the rise.
That’s your live music sorted, but here’s the other good bit!
A WEEKEND In the Gardens is far more than just the music. To enjoy this special location, a major feature of the event will be “The Eatery” – an area adjoining the site with a variety of high quality food and drink stalls for chilling out in a relaxed and
vibrant space. Foodies will be tantalised with offerings from Ladro, Burn City Smokers, The Royale Brothers and Pommery Champagne & Oyster Bar to name a few!
A WEEKEND In The Gardens is also pleased to have the Gardens’ acclaimed Jardin Tan restaurant join this special event. Located immediately behind the concert area, Jardin Tan will offer a VIP Canapes package.
Roundhouse Entertainment Director Michael Newton said: “Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens is world renowned and we are thrilled to produce what we hope will be some very special concerts for the inaugural event in March and beyond.”
