With less than a month to go until the Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix lands back in Melbourne, the music line-up performing on the Crown main stage has been announced.
Offering an array of Australian musical talent in rock, pop and EDM music, night one – Friday, 22 March – will be led by I Said Hi singer Amy Shark. She’ll be joined by Melbourne electronic music favourites Northeast Party House and DJ Jake Webb.
The following night, Are You Gonna Be My Girl rockers Jet take the stage alongside Vanessa Amorosi, who will bring Absolutely Everybody to their feet after a performance from Yo! Mafia. Empire Of The Sun will close the weekend with a DJ set. They’ll follow My People outfit, The Presets, offering their signature live show and DJ Emma Peters.
Crown will host live music during the event, which takes place from 22 – 24 March at the Albert Park racetrack in St Kilda. The hospitality group will also host entertainment at Melbourne CBD’s Crown Casino following all the racing action.
In addition to announcing the music line-up today, the Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix will release a final batch of limited tickets tomorrow – for the Friday, Saturday and Sunday sessions – at 2 pm AEDT. You can go here for more ticketing information.
