Nine days, 170 acts, 40 locations, 3000 thank yous

Melbourne Music Week is over for 2011, and what an amazing ride it was. From the breathtaking success of KUBIK Melbourne to the astounding commitment from all our event partners and punters, MMW 2011 had so many highlights.

Over 70 events ran throughout the week, which would never have been possible without the incredible support of so many people.

MMW would like to thank all our event partners, venues, musicians, production companies, security, retail and hospitality businesses, media partners, supporting partners, labels, staff, volunteers and every single one of you who made it down to an MMW event.  Your incredible support and passion were key to the success of the event.

We always knew Melbourne was one of the world’s greatest music capitals and this week proved exactly why that is.

Until next Melbourne Music Week,

the MMW team
