Fed Square is one of Melbourne’s most beloved meeting places and the gateway to the Melbourne Arts Precinct.
This February, Fed Square welcomes three completely free Candlelight concerts featuring spectacular performances from Soli, Ross Wilson and The Peaceniks, and Teeks.
Candlelight at Fed Square
Melbourne-based Ethiopian singer Soli will perform her gospel-inspired R&B original songs, live by candle. She’s toured with Masego and has opened for Yuseff Days and with her velvety R&B tones, she’ll light up Fed Square on 4 February.
On 5 February the Square will echo with the iconic hits of one of Australia’s most awarded musicians. Featuring upbeat performances of some of Ross Wilson’s greatest anthems from his Daddy Cool and Mondo Rock eras, as well as of his latest EP She’s Stuck On Facebook All The Time, he’ll be wowing audiences with his energy on a candlelit stage accompanied by the talented The Peaceniks. Twice inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame, Wilson’s live performances are legendary.
But don’t look away just yet for there’s one last concert that might take you on a spiritual journey. The soulful singer-songwriter Teeks from Aotearoa is joining forces with Candlelight on 6 February for the cycle’s apotheosis. With over 1 billion short-form video views, two platinum projects and viral TikTok success, Teeks connects deeply with listeners. His raw and tender delivery adds a profound layer to his artistry and coupled with a sea of twinkling candles, it will make for an unforgettable musical experience.
