Melbourne To Get New Music Venue At The Yarraville Club

Melbournites will now have even more options for heading out to see live music with the launch of a new venue in the heart of the city's west in the historic Yarraville Club.

The Yarraville Club, located on 135 Stephen Street Yarraville, will now host live music nights holding up to 600 punters. The venue will be overseen by James Young, notable for co-owning and booking the successful Cherry Bar in the city's CBD.

Young hopes that the vitality of the Yarraville location will play a key role in the success of this new venue: “Yarraville and the new West represent a thriving creative community crying out for a quality local live music venue; one of size, imagination and care. The Yarraville Club can be that venue. [I] expect it to lead to great things for music lovers, local artists and the greater Melbourne's West.”

The club will host a tribute night to the The Rolling Stones classic 1972 LP Exile On Main Street on Saturday 3 November. The record is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year and the evening at the Yarraville Club will see the album performed back to back by some of Australia's best artists, including Jack Howard (Hunters & Collectors) and Dave Larkin (Dallas Crane).

The show starts at 7pm. Tickets can be bought here for $45 if you want dinner with your music or $25 for general admission.
