For three decades, The Corner Hotel has been at the heart of Melbourne’s live music scene.* We’ve watched breakout bands become household names, welcomed hometown heroes before they filled arenas, hosted international icons and given generations of music lovers a place to discover their next favourite band.
We’ve been home to pre-gig beers, post-footy celebrations and countless “I was there” moments.
This October, The Corner celebrating 30 years of unforgettable nights, legendary gigs and the community that’s made The Corner what it is today.
Across six weeks you’ll find iconic Australian artists, label takeovers, free Front Bar gigs, live trivia, late-night DJs and plenty of surprises.
Come celebrate 30 years with the folks at The Corner
