Electric Fields and Mitch Tambo to perform free Melbourne shows this summer

Fans of two Australia Decides alumni can catch them performing in Melbourne this summer as local councils put on free live entertainment for the community.

Australia's 2024 Eurovision representatives Electric Fields are headlining City of Stonnington's annual free summer concert Sunset Sounds on Sunday 18 January at the Malvern Gardens.

It's the electronic duo's first live performance for 2026, and they'll be joined by Punjabi soul and jazz artist Parvyn and local DJ Lyndelle Wilkinson.

Sunset Sounds is a long-running free and all-ages event in the City of Stonnington in Melbourne's inner east and gives visitors a chance to enjoy a picnic and dance the afternoon away in an idyllic parklands setting.

Electric Fields were runners-up in the inagural edition of SBS' former Eurovision selection contest Australia Decides in 2019, nudged out by Kate Miller-Heidke.

SBS then picked them to be our representative at the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo, Sweden with their song One Mikali (One Love). They finished 11th in semi-final one, narrowly missing qualification for the grand final by six points.

Mitch Tambo's show

Meanwhile, Mitch Tambo, who competed in the 2020 edition of Australia Decides, is headlining Glen Eira City Council's outdoor event Under The Stars at Packer Park, Carnegie on Saturday 21 February.

Tambo finished fifth with his song Together in the 2020 contest, which was won by Montaigne.

A proud Gamilaraay man, he's since become known for his covers of major Australian hits in language, including John Farnham's You're The Voice and Icehouse's Great Southern Land.

The world music star will be performing alongside Central Coast-based female indie folk trio Little Quirks, and like Sunset Sounds, fans can come along with a picnic or grab some snacks from the food trucks on site.
