Melville Summer Music is back for its fourth annual season of free, family-friendly concerts near you! Join us beneath the trees and lush parklands of the City of Melville to enjoy lively tunes from talented local artists – all while sharing a picnic with family and friends.
Taking the stage at this Melville Summer Music concert is Mace Francis Orchestra (MFO), a vibrant fusion of funk, rock, noise guitar, ambient sounds and dark country influences.
Led by Dr. Mace Francis, MFO has been redefining jazz since 2004 with a dynamic lineup of talented musicians.
MFO serves as the perfect canvas for Mace to express his many different musical influences, intricate harmonies and rich orchestral colours.

Food trucks will be located on the other side of the event, towards Hardy Street.
Both the toilets and food trucks are along the bike path and easily accessible, though there is a small distance between both, approximately 50m.
