The Royal Exhibition Building has been unveiled as one of the festival’s major venues and will play host to a cutting-edge line-up of local artists and international headliners during the inaugural 17-day event.
The festival will transform Melbourne with immersive experiences of art, ideas, music and technology in August and September.
Melbourne City Activation portfolio lead Councillor Roshena Campbell shares “Now or Never will explore the intersection of art, ideas, sound and technology – and we’re so excited to announce the Royal Exhibition Building as one of our major event hosts.”
“Set to attract more than 200,000 visitors to the city, this inaugural festival will add to our vibrant creative scene and invite even more visitors to explore the best of what our wonderful city has to offer.”
Highlights from the Now or Never music program under the building’s spectacular cathedral ceilings include:
The Royal Exhibition Building will also play host to Never Permanent, presented by the internationally acclaimed design festival, Semi Permanent. The to-be-announced line-up will be stacked with thought-provoking keynote speakers and panel sessions featuring leading creative visionaries.
Semi Permanent Founder, Murray Bell adds “Never Permanent brings together the best creatives and innovators from around the globe, and we can't wait to offer our platform to these world-renowned names in the industry."
“This line-up for Never Permanent is shaping up to be one of our best yet, and we’re thrilled for this to be a part of Now or Never."
Now or Never will also feature immersive art installations at venues and locations across Melbourne – including the city, Docklands and Carlton - between Thursday 17th August and Saturday 2nd September.
