10) Wanderlust 108
17th November
Experience the world’s first mindful triathlon, featuring a 5km run/walk, a DJ-powered yoga session, and guided meditation, as well as a festival vibe with health and wellness workshops, the Kula Markets filled with food and products from local artisans and the Remedy Kombucha Garden. And, for all you interesting people, there’s a bar just down the street that has no windows so you can forget that people who would willingly do yoga next to something called a Remedy Kombucha Garden exist.

9) National Recycling Week Clothing and Book Swap Party
16th November
It’s National Recycling Week and Whittlesea is celebrating with a mass clothing and book swap. Bring your old clothes and books and find some new pieces! There’ll be food and a fun community vibe.

8) Smash Mouth
17th November
Californian rockers, Smash Mouth, have just announced they will return to Australia with a tour of their classic hits such as ‘All Star’. They rode the wave of the 90’s ‘alternative’ music scene, the 2000’s wave of Shrek and now they’re washing up on our shores. Bloated, pasty, riddled with mold and ripe for an autopsy.

It’s the second anniversary of the boutique music festival that takes place in the Melbourne Royal Botanic Gardens. A three-day concert featuring food, drinks, and, this year, the talents of renowned artist Paul Kelly as well as Steve Earle and Middle Kids.

1) Bill Murray New Worlds Tour
17th November
Legendary actor, comedian and all-round rogue Bill Murray is teaming up with virtuosic cellist Jan Vogler for a live performance that combines music and the art of words, discovering the artistic connections that have been fired between America and Europe and the rest of the world via American visionaries such as Twain and Hemingway, Bernstein and Gershwin. This is a live performance of artistic legacy. Note ‘artistic legacy’. We need not question the more troubling details of the personal lives of any of the roguish artists in this show. A cellist’s bow can be a pretty lethal weapon.
