What's on in Melbourne today
Today's events only - daytime and evening - for when you want a same-day plan without scrolling through next month's calendar.
Daytime and evening
The full today window
This page covers everything starting today, from daytime markets and gallery openings through to evening gigs and nightlife. If it's already evening and you want the strictly tonight view, that page applies the same filter with an evening-focused list.
If today is quiet
A backup plan
Some weekdays are genuinely lighter on ticketed events than weekends. If that's what today looks like, check Nightlife or Bars for spontaneous options that don't always appear as a scheduled 'event'.
Built for a same-day decision
This page exists for the specific moment when you're deciding what to do today and don't want to scroll through next month's calendar to get there. It pulls only today's window, in Melbourne time, so a 7pm show doesn't get buried under events three weeks out.
If the live feed looks thin
A quiet day on the ticketed feed doesn't mean nothing's happening - it often just means the day's options lean toward things that don't sell through a ticketing platform. Nightlife, markets and casual bar options are a reliable backup on days like that.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as the Tonight page?
Today covers the full day including daytime events; Tonight focuses specifically on the evening window.
What if nothing's listed for today?
Try Nightlife, Bars or the general What's On page for a wider view.
What's the cutoff for 'today'?
Midnight, Melbourne time - anything starting before then counts as today; anything after rolls into tomorrow's list.
Do I need an account to browse this page?
No - browsing and the live feed are open to everyone. An account is only needed to save events, set alerts or appear as 'going'.
