The City Of Yarra’s annual winter music festival, Leaps And Bounds, is on its way back for another year – set to transform pubs, clubs, bars and band rooms across the city, into a vibrant celebration of live music, performance, and community connection.
The event attracts locals and visitor alike, inviting them to listen, dance, and be inspired by the musical talent and creativity in the community.
Leaps And Bounds will takeover venues across Fitzroy, Collingwood and Richmond this July.
Highlights include the return of Punters Club, a true icon of Melbourne’s live music legacy, who will host Kennel District and spill across the road to The Evelyn Hotel. . . Roger Knox (AKA Blak Elvis), an Aussie country music legend and First Nations trailblazer. . . Queer Shift at The Workers Club, led by trans and gender-diverse DJs. . . Anti-Fade and The Tote present Lazy Sunday. . . Tracy Miller Band and friends at The Corner Hotel. . . And more.
“At a time when the industry is doing it tough, we’re proud to back our live music venues, artists and workers through a community-curated festival that champions Yarra’s live music scene,” City Of Yarra Mayor Stephen Jolly says.
“There are more than 20 venues participating this year, boosting our local economy and reinvigorating our city over the winter months.”
