Listen To Triple J’s Hottest 100 Countdown At These 9 Fun Venues Around Melbourne
It’s that time of year where we celebrate the best in the music scene.
Voting for the Triple J Hottest 100 has officially closed. If you got your votes in on time, great. But if not, that’s completely fine too. We’ll all get to tune in this weekend to count down the best songs that played on Triple J in 2021. If you’re not meeting at a mate’s place this Saturday, there’s plenty of awesome venues around Melbourne throwing events for the Hottest 100 countdown. Grab your friends, sing along to your favourites and have a cheeky boogie (outdoors!) while you’re at it. Most of these parties will start at the same time as the countdown, at 12pm on Saturday January 22. Which one will you go to?
