In celebrating Melbourne as a city of music, the program reveals that over 75 per cent of MMW artists are from Victoria.

The Melbourne Recital Centre will host a one-off performance from the internationally acclaimed collaboration between Pantha du Prince and The Bell Laboratory. Pantha du Prince will bring a mesmerising symphony of electronics, percussion and bells.  Presented in association with the Goethe Institut, this remarkable show will also feature a support performance by German producer Oval, widely regarded as the godfather of glitch.

MMW’s opening night will feature local acts Montero and Boomgates supporting New Zealand’s The Bats and US indie rockers Sonny & the Sunsets. The much-loved Label Series will return with three shows in unique city locations. In a festival highlight, I Oh You will take over Flagstaff Train Station on Saturday November 16 with an all-local lineup featuring Yacht Club DJs, Gold Fields, Northeast Party House, City Calm Down, SNKDKTL and more.

Following on from 2011’s KUBIK Melbourne, and 2012’s Where?House; 2013’s ‘The Residence’ offers a dynamic, purpose-built venue at Birrarung Marr. Created in collaboration with the People’s Market, The Residence will feature video mapping, light installations, market, food and entertainment offerings as well as an exciting music program each day and night of the festival. The Residence will be curated by 18 leading industry players, including Mistletone, Modular, The Operatives and Polyester Records (who are celebrating their 30th anniversary).
