Big Brass Barbeque feat. Melbourne Ska Orchestra

Kick off the January long weekend in style with HOTA’s Summer Ska Session - an upbeat and infectious live music experience at the Outdoor Stage.

Headlining the show is the 26-piece Melbourne Ska Orchestra - a fun-loving, big band experience conducted by Nicky Bomba. Add The Pokers and Heavy Wax to the line up plus DJ sets from Tyron Noonan and you’ve got the ingredients for the ultimate Summer Ska Session!

Suitable for the whole family, these brilliant bands will have you dancing the afternoon away with soulful horns, swinging funk and a walking bassline. Dine on food truck fare and BBQ, with drinks available from the fully licensed bar.

This event will be hosted in Chill Out Mode.
