Live at the Gardens Reveals 2026 Lineup

Live at the Gardens has revealed the lineup for its fourth season.

Across two weekends in March, Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens' Observatory Precinct will be transformed once again into an open-air venue.

New Zealand singer-songwriter Marlon Williams will open the fourth season on March 6th, backed by Emma Donovan and Kee'ahn.

The following night, it's Thelma Plum and Sons of the East's turn, joined by special guest Jem Cassar-Daley.

Electronic music dominates on March 8th and March 13th thanks to Leftfield, Cut Copy, and some special guests, before Aussie hip-hop icons Bliss n Eso bring the season to an end on March 15th.

Check out the full lineup below.

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Wednesday, December 10th at 12pm AEDT. Pre-sales commence on Monday, December 8th at 11am AEDT.

Live at the Gardens has earned rave reviews over its first few seasons.

“Live at the Gardens teased what it’s like to be in Melbourne for a summer of music, nature and culture," wrote Arts Hub.

“The people behind the acclaimed A Day On The Green series have transformed Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens’ Observatory Precinct into a delightful new inner-city live music experience ... Incredible band, great venue, good times," praised Australian Musician Magazine.

“One of the most beautiful places on earth," said Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos.
