Live music in Melbourne
Every night Melbourne has live music somewhere: a bandroom in Brunswick, a club in the CBD, a pub in St Kilda. Xalo collates it into one live feed so you can see what is on and where, without the hunt.
What you'll find on this page
A live feed, not a static list
Coverage is strongest for ticketed live music and known bandrooms. Casual door-only nights are lighter, but the gig-focused ranking keeps music and nightlife at the top rather than burying them under markets and expos.
If you're after something more specific, the categories below split things out by mood: tonight, this weekend, free, music, nightlife, sport. Each of those pages applies a tighter filter so you're not scrolling through everything to find one type of night out.
How people use this page
Three common starting points
- Planning ahead - scanning the next few weeks to pick a date for a concert or show.
- Deciding tonight - jumping to the Tonight page when it's already evening and you want options fast.
- Checking a category - going straight to music, sport or nightlife if that's what you're after.
A note on how this page works
Ticketmaster is the main source behind this feed, which means coverage is strongest for ticketed events - concerts, theatre, comedy, sport - and lighter on things that don't sell tickets through a platform, like casual bar nights or free markets. For that side of Melbourne, the Free Events, Bars and Markets pages fill the gap. We'd rather show you a slightly narrower but accurate list than pad it out with guesses about what might be on.

Frequently asked questions
Is this list updated automatically?
Yes. Events are pulled live from Ticketmaster's API, so dates, venues and availability reflect what's currently listed, not a manually maintained page.
Does Xalo sell tickets?
No. Xalo is a discovery layer - when you tap an event you're taken to the official ticketing source to complete your purchase.
Can I save events for later?
Yes, inside the Xalo app you can save events to a personal list and set alerts so you don't forget about something you wanted to go to.
How far ahead does this page look?
Roughly the next 30 days. For a narrower window, use the Tonight or This Weekend pages instead.
Why might an event I know about be missing?
If it isn't ticketed through Ticketmaster, or hasn't gone on sale yet, it won't appear here. Free and informal events are better covered on the Free Events and Markets pages.
How do alerts work in Xalo?
Once you save an event in the app, you can turn on alerts and get reminded 24 hours and again 4 hours before it starts.
