The Melbourne Museum Plaza bursts into life for Now or Never with a tantalising whole-of-precinct program fusing art, ideas, sound and technology. You’ll be lured into a world of curiosity, wonder and discovery with a celebration of National Science Week, a &#8220;Melbourne Planetarium Presents&#8221; program in the Neversphere, a special Future Forums edition, and unique exhibitions and events as part of the inaugural festival. The World Heritage listed Royal Exhibition Building will also fling back its doors, filling the magnificent space with a program of nighttime dance, RnB, hip hop and clubbing. While on site, make sure you also visit the fabulous Fantastic Beasts™: The Wonder of Nature exhibition on at Melbourne Museum, direct from the National History Museum in London and other great exhibitions on during this time.

Founded in 2010 in Melbourne by brothers Josh and Jake Uljans and school mate Karl van Buuren, Moon Dog began with a lil’ brewery in the back streets of Abbotsford, with the trio brewing beer in a brew house welded together from ex-dairy equipment and selling mind-blowing craft beer from the back of a ‘97 Volvo V40 station wagon.
More than a decade later, we’ve made some upgrades to the equipment, we’ve expanded our brewery into Preston, we’ve opened two brew pubs and our Moon Dog family has grown and grown, but one thing has stayed the same-brewing outrageously delicious beers and seltzers that blow minds is what it’s all about!

Prepare to be wooed by the sounds of SOVBLKPSSY, a Ngarrindjeri/Ramindjeri and Walkandi Woni musician and DJ, as she seamlessly blends global club music with her unique style of layering sounds, rhythms, and textures.
Elsewhere on the club music spectrum is Mookito, whose passion for the rhythmic beauty of Latin music culminates in a fusion of Latin techno and dembow, radiating pure bliss.
And of course, don&#8217;t miss the dynamic presence of Soju Gang herself, who will jump behind the decks as well as playing host. Renowned for her crowd-pleasing and eclectic sets, Soju Gang&#8217;s unwavering commitment to connecting with her audience makes her performances unmissable.
