More than 20 artists will perform at the Mushroom 50 Live concert at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on the final weekend of November. The event, co-presented by ALWAYS LIVE, caps off a year’s worth of 50th birthday celebrations for the Mushroom Group, the music company founded by the late Michael Gudinski in the early 1970s.
The lineup for Mushroom 50 Live includes many of the label group’s most iconic acts, such as Hunters & Collectors, Christine Anu, Paul Kelly, Deborah Conway (and Willy Zygier), Vika & Linda, Cold Chisel’s Jimmy Barnes and Ian Moss, and more. See the full lineup and event details below.

There’ll also be performances from Birds of Tokyo, Bliss n Eso, Dan Sultan, Diesel, Machinations’ Fred Loneragan, Frente, Kate Ceberano, Missy Higgins, Ross Wilson (Daddy Cool, Mondo Rock), The Rubens and The Temper Trap, with more to be announced.
The show will take the format of “50 songs for 50 years”, with a press release promising performances of songs such as Barnes’ ‘Working Class Man’, Hunters & Collectors’ ‘Holy Grail’, The Temper Trap’s ‘Sweet Disposition’, Vance Joy’s ‘Riptide’, The Rubens’ ‘Hoops’, Conway’s ‘It’s Only the Beginning’, Kelly’s ‘Before Too Long’ and Skyhooks’ ‘Living In The 70’s’.
