NONSTOP WKND
Citywide
Fri 1 Sept - Sat 2 Sept
70 industry leading artists. 13 unique shows. Six iconic Melbourne venues—NONSTOP WKND is the choose-your-own-adventure festival within a festival closing Now or Never with a bang.
Over two epic nights of genre-bending and venue hopping, NONSTOP WKND is your all-access pass to experience the future of Melbourne/Narrm’s live and electronic music scene. On September 1-2, from midday to midnight and beyond, six late-night city venues will come alive with thumping music, cutting-edge audio-visuals, thought-provoking talks and boundary-pushing performances from curated by the city’s most loved party people.
Expect internationals never seen in Melbourne/Narrm, newly commissioned works, and local favourites taking our call to action and showcasing themselves like never before.
