Marking its third year, ALWAYS LIVE announces its 2024 return with an epic 17-day statewide celebration of contemporary live music, set to take over Victoria from November 22 to December 8. From Gippsland to Geelong, Ballarat to Bendigo, this year’s program includes a huge array of free and low-cost events and puts grassroots and regional venues centre stage, hosting everything from one-off shows and underplays to podcasts, conversations, and workshops.

ALWAYS LIVE’s curated program of unique and exclusive music moments, supported by the Victorian Government through Visit Victoria, continues to champion the state’s live music ecosystem, further cementing Victoria’s reputation as the live music capital of Australia. This first announcement unveils a staggering lineup; showcasing homegrown talent, the finest acts from around the country, and major international performances featuring over 289 artists, including 208 from Victoria in more than 65 events across the State, with 35% of the program through regional Victoria.

In a Victorian exclusive, ALWAYS LIVE, in partnership with UNTITLED GROUP, brings the genre-defining Anyma to Australasian shores for the first time ever for the epic live production, Anyma presents Genesys — Melbourne / Naarm.

Part digital artist, part electronic music creator, Anyma creates out-of-this-world event experiences that cement his reputation across the music industry as a pioneering visionary. This meticulously curated music and mind-blowing visual art project will be coming to Victoria only for ALWAYS LIVE on Saturday, November 23 at Flemington Racecourse which will see the largest screen in the Southern Hemisphere built for the occasion. 

Exclusive to Australia and New Zealand, Californian punk rock legends The Offspring join the ALWAYS LIVE lineup with an intimate one-night-only show, ‘Light it Up,’ at The Forum Theatre presented with Destroy All Lines. Known for their high-energy performances and iconic hits like “Pretty Fly (for a White Guy),” “Self Esteem,” and “The Kids Aren’t Alright,” The Offspring have made an indelible mark on the music scene, becoming one of the most influential bands of their generation.

With a career spanning over three decades, the band have become synonymous with punk, delivering high-energy performances that have captivated audiences worldwide. The Offspring will bring their raucous sound to Melbourne in a rare opportunity to experience one of the genre’s most enduring bands up close.
