It’s been an incredible year of free-gigs at Fed Square, with notable names like Robbie Williams, Kneecap, Caribou, Glass Beams and Eddy Current Suppression Ring. And soon, Melbourne’s own King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard will take over Fed Square for their first-ever rave set in Australia. This will also be the band’s first show in the country in over two years. You can see them live and for free this week on Friday October 24.
