Getting There

Experience the magic of intimate starlit evening performances by original artists, surrounded by thousands of twinkling candles, against the backdrop of Fed Square’s iconic architecture.

The summertime open air favourite is back, by popular demand. Over three nights, original artists across various genres including rock, gospel, R&B and soul will perform live, by candlelight and under the stars.

Emerging Melbourne-based Ethiopian songstress Soli will perform gospel-inspired R&B originals; Melbourne’s own ARIA Hall of Fame rock legend Ross Wilson together with his band The Peaceniks will be bringing the classics; and to celebrate Waitangi Day, Māori artist Teeks will perform by Candlelight, performing soulful tunes.

Bring a picnic blanket and rally your friends to enjoy a very special series of evening concerts by Candlelight.

These performances will be AUSLAN interpreted and an accessible viewing area will also be available.
