About this Event
Fortitude Valley has been a magnet for live music acts for more than four decades, with audiences witnessing the birth of many famous bands and artists across genres ranging from punk to indie, goth to grunge.
California Lane will be the epicentre of a tribute to the Valley's live music heritage on Saturday 16 May with a CD and Record Fair, a 4ZZZ stall, vinyl - spinning DJs and a presentation by music academic and former Go-Betweens guitarist John Willsteed [See separate eventbrite listing ' In The Shadow of The Empire: Vague Memories of the Valley Music Scene ' to book for John's presentation.]
In between these events, you are invited to join historian Robert Allen for a guided walking tour of several of the Valley's past and present live music venues, including The Zoo / Crowbar, the Fortitude Music Hall, The Roxy / The Arena and Dooley's.
Learn how the Valley's live acts, venues and stories emerged against a backdrop of huge social and political change.
