Mushroom Free For All

This year, on Melbourne Cup Eve, Frontier Touring and Mushroom are teaming up with beyondblue and Melbourne Park for a special Mushroom Free For All concert celebrating local music and giving back to the people of this fine city at Melbourne’s newest venue - Margaret Court Arena (at Melbourne Park). The opening of the reinvigorated space will see some of Australia’s most popular and acclaimed new generation artists take the stage: Dan Sultan, British India, Husky and Lanie Lane.

The venue’s premiere event will allow for punters of all ages to come along for FREE to the brand new space, and listen to some of the country’s best musical offerings while there. 

Those attending the event will be able to support the tireless work ofbeyondblue – volunteers will be present with collection tins throughout the venue to accept your generous donations which will help to reduce the impact of anxiety and depression on individuals, families and carers, and society as a whole.

The recently redeveloped Margaret Court Arena (MCA) is a dynamic new arena located in the iconic Melbourne Park precinct and is an exciting edition to Melbourne’s already incredible live music scene. With capacity ranging between 3,000 to 7,500, the venue will be versatile enough to treat artists and fans to intimate concert experiences as well as an electric atmosphere. With exciting international acts including Sam Smith, Billy Idol and Yellowcard already booked to play the venue, the Mushroom Free For All will allow punters to check out the state of the art space before anyone else.

The bill will showcase some of the country’s most exciting artists, from across the Mushroom labels and all from Melbourne. Husky and Lanie Lane have released new albums within the last two weeks, with both garnering critical acclaim, and Dan Sultan and British India have new releases on the horizon and those attending will be amongst the first to hear the new material.

Local community radio PBS 106.7FM and RRR 102.7FM are supporting the Mushroom Free For All concert in their usual tradition of loyalty and support for local Australian talent.
