A stellar line up including some of Australia’s most renowned and acknowledged musicians, singers and DJs will perform Friday evenings from July 5 to mix it up with the crowds for Friday Nights at Monet’s Garden.
Director of the NGV, Tony Ellwood said: ‘The Friday night series will completely transform the Gallery through these major evening events and will run over the final ten weeks of Monet’s Garden.
‘The music line up will include some of Australia’s most well-known artists such as Vance Joy, Robert Forster, Machine Translations, Good Heavens, Brighter Later, Halfway, Courtney Barnett, Seekae, Harmony and Jae Laffer.
‘As well as music acts in the Great Hall, visitors can catch a ‘pop-up’ talk with special guests including host of Gardening Australia, Costa Georgiadis, celebrated chef, Matt Wilkinson and Australian contemporary artist, Fiona Hall. Their insights will enlighten, entertain and no doubt be full of interesting surprises,’ said Mr Ellwood.
A range of food and drink offerings will be available throughout the evening and will include everything from bar food to bistro style suppers.
Tickets for Friday Nights at Monet’s Garden are on sale and selling fast.
