Bundoora Beats is back for a free summer concert
Published on 22 January 2026
Live music, warm summer evenings and feel-good vibes are set to return to Norris Bank Reserve, with Bundoora Beats lighting up Norris Bank Park on Saturday 31 January.
Now rescheduled for summer, this free twilight concert will transform the parkland into a lively outdoor music destination, inviting the community to gather beneath the gum trees for relaxed summer vibes, great music, delicious food and a fantastic start to the new year.
From 6pm, audiences can enjoy an exciting line-up of some of Melbourne’s most loved and emerging artists, including Kee’Ahn, Hana & Jessie-Lee’s Bad Habits, Doe Eyes and crowd-favourite headliners JAZZPARTY. The night will also feature roving performers, family-friendly activities and a great range of food stalls.
Music lovers are encouraged to spread out on the lawns and soak up the sounds of Melbourne’s live music scene, while families can enjoy hands-on activities such as face painting, badge-making and bubble shows.
Headliners JAZZPARTY are renowned for their energetic, inclusive performances that bring people together. Blending styles from 1950s RnB and mambo to punk, ragtime, calypso and soul, their lively sound promises a high-energy and joyful finale to the night.
The evening will be hosted by Melbourne emcee Benny Gregs, known for his high-energy presence and creative flair at events across Victoria.
Attendees are welcome to bring their own picnic or enjoy food and drinks from a range of vendors. The event is free and no bookings are required. Limited parking is available, with public transport encouraged.
