“The Botanic Gardens is a fantastic venue … With food trucks and bars, it’s a fantastic atmosphere for Melbourne music lovers created by the team responsible for A Day On The Green, the venue is the perfect location for Melbourne’s mild summer nights.”
27 Magazine

“… undeniably gorgeous setting, killer line-up of live music … well organised, the queues were short and the sound was impeccable from start to finish.”
Scenestr 

“As the vast crowd starts to walk out of the precinct and head down the hills of the Gardens, (‘I’ve Had) The Time of My Life’ plays, and I’m sure for many, it was the truth. The warm outdoor setting of the Botanic Gardens was the perfect setting.”
Australian Musician
