Voice of Baceprot Play One of the Most Powerful Shows of All Time for Melbourne

by Paul Cashmere

Melbourne has hosted some intimate early shows for artists who went on to major things. There was Radiohead at the Palace in 1994, The White Stripes at the Corner Hotel in 2000, Coldplay at The Prince of Wales in 2001 and Taylor Swift at Billboard in 2009. I have a feeling we’ll look back to 26 October 2024 when Voice of Baceprot (V.o.B.) played at Croxton Park Hotel in Melbourne and it will be one of those shows.
