The Melburnian live music scene is about to receive a healthy shot in the arm with the announcement of the impending Urban Spread local live music program at the Chelsea Heights and Village Green hotels from next month.

With Aussie hip hop hero Allday lined up to man the stage for the series' first event at the Chelsea Heights Hotel on Friday, 13 March, and Village Green Hotel on Saturday, 14 March, Urban Spread promises to bring a monthly dose of the nation's best live music from across the rock, indie, hardcore, punk, blues, roots, hip hop and other scenes straight to your eager earholes.

Allday will be joined by Melburnian indie rapper Ivan Ooze and former St Vitus Cardinals member Peezo for the nights of revelry, alongside some special guest DJs to help keep the party pumping well past the witching hour.

Tickets for the first Urban Spread event will go on sale this coming Monday, 9 February, from 9am, and will be available via Moshtix. For more information, see theGuide or check The Music App.
