Live music is a big part of Melbourne's DNA. On any night of the week, in the heart of the city, you'll find a venue somewhere that's showcasing live music. Some incredible names have graced the stages of Melbourne’s CBD music venues... and if those walls could talk, they’d tell a million stories. In this episode, we explore the city streets to bring you some of those incredible tales... like the time Noel Gallagher offered to buy Cherry Bar (or did he?)... Madonna's weird clown gig at The Forum... and The Confidence Man gig at 170 Russell that led to an unexpected outcome for Telenova's Angie Armstrong.

The State I'm In
With 465 venues spread across Melbourne, the city can arguably lay claim to being the live music capital of the world. But more than the just number of venues, there are more intangible elements that connect Melbourne and the state of Victoria to live music like no other place in the country.
