Mister Co. at Bourke Street Mall

Melbourne is a living stage. Mister Co have partnered with the City of Melbourne to launch 'Our City, Our Artists: The Road to Homegrown' a high-octane celebration of the city's local independent talent, kicking off this Sunday in the Bourke Street Mall.

From April to November Mister Co. is bringing big energy sets to premium CBD busking spots, alongside a rotating cast of local legends. They'll be turning up the heat in September and October with two huge live installations, featuring curated five-act lineups that transform iconic city spaces into performance hubs.

It all leads to the Homegrown Festival on 21 November. Hosted at the historic Royal Melbourne Hotel, Homegrown is a 12-hour, three-stage marathon featuring 26 of Melbourne’s best artists. This independent ecosystem bridges the gap between grassroots passion and world-class production, creating a summer-starting celebration where the artists who build the culture finally own the stage.
