MESSAGE FROM THE LORD MAYOR OF MELBOURNE

"Melbourne musicians delight in the many stages our city offers, from world-class venues to sprawling amphitheatres. This spring, Melbourne River Riffs invites our best buskers to settle in by the riverbank to perform in Batman Park. On a floating helipad, Fleetwood Mac and INXS tribute bands and an orchestra will entertain audiences over three memorable nights.

The City of Melbourne is proud to support free public events such as this, which demonstrate the city's instinct for creative ideas. Combining music, food and our parkland, the Uniquely Melbourne events team knows our city and its passions. I look forward to joining audiences and artists alike to enjoy music under the stars during Melbourne River Riffs."

Sally Capp AO
