10 Best Venues & Places for Live Music in Melbourne | Condé Nast Traveler

"Many Australian bands have hit the big time play at Forum Melbourne, in the CBD (Central Business District), as have international acts that aren’t quite ready for stadiums. Past performers have included Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Katy Perry, and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The auditorium itself is stunning, with Grecian-style statues and a domed ceiling dotted with lights to resemble the night sky. If you have even the slightest inclination to see an act here, do so without hesitation. Experiencing a great band here can be an almost transcendental experience." - Carrie Hutchinson
