LIVE-MUSIC VENUES
In spite of the ongoing threat of music venues being closed down due to noise complaints by some inner-city res-
idents, Melbourne still has a plethora of great venues spread throughout the city and inner suburbs. Some of the
city's favourite pubs and drinking dens double as band venues: the best spots to catch a beer and a gig include the
Tote in Collingwood, the Espy (Esplanade Hotel) in St Kilda, the Northcote Social Club and Richmond's Corner
Hotel.
Though it prides itself as a city dedicated to smaller, independent live-music spaces, Melbourne also has its fair
share of major stadiums and arenas. You'll find big-name acts selling out venues like Rod Laver Arena, Festival
Hall, Sidney Myer Music Bowl and the Forum.
