If your gig calendar is looking a bit lacklustre, light it up with some Vivid Music performances this week (today to June 3).
We’ve made it easier to choose from the list of not-to-be-missed gigs with a wrap up of 5 Vivid Music top picks, but hurry, because tickets are selling fast:
CAKE WINES PRESENTS - PLAY ON CLASSIC MEETS ELECTRONIC
For this special Cellar Door edition of Play On, across two nights, we’ll see members of the Australian Chamber Orchestra playing a repertoire across a one-hour set. The evening will then transition into deep space with absolute legends of the Sydney’s electronic music scene, Ben Fester and Magda, who will guide us through a floor filling three hours of often "untroden" sounds.
Cake Wines Cellar Door 1 – 2 June 1 - 2 6.00pm – late from $25.00
The music of Sydney trio Roadhouses is a hazy fever dream. These are songs of exorcism and empathy, of creation and dissolution, of endurance. In this age of instant gratification, experiencing a Roadhouses performance will slow your heartbeat as you are immersed in their bruised romanticism.
Golden Age Cinema & Bar June 1 9pm – late free with registration
Dog Days is returning to the Oxford Art Factory for its biggest event to date. 11 acts across two stages. Dog Days is proud to be hosting for the first time all girl rock outfit RACKETT who have been lighting up stages Australia wide, headlining Dog Days’ funk-filled, ultra-talented line-up of acts.
Oxford Art Factory June 1 8pm – midnight from $18.25

DELFINO APERITIVO W/ STEREOGAMOUS
Ensuring that Aperitivo Hour at the Dolphin hotel retains it's sparkly coat we've called on Stereogamous; the self-professed “gayest band since The Village People”. The Aria award-winning legends are the musical equivalent of Mardi Gras that runs all year.
