Melbourne Cabaret Festival 2021

The Melbourne Cabaret Festival proudly returns to Chapel Off Chapel from 19 to 27 June 2021. The festival features two weeks of atmospheric, seductive and soul-stirring entertainment. You can experience an entertaining night out and be enticed by the launch of brand new and exciting cabaret shows. Many feature original music and other shows feature music from your favourite singers such as Annie Lennox, Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday and Beyonce.

The creative energy and spirit of our cabaret performers have been at play, germinating fresh ideas, songs and stories. They can’t wait to get back on stage and perform their new works. Prinnie Stevens, Nina Ferro, Melbourne Accordion Orchestra and Tash York are just a few of the many performers in the festival who set to entertain Melbourne audiences.

Festival co-producer David Read says “Almost every show in this year’s festival is brand new. There’s a great mix of shows featuring songs from your favourite singers mixed with shows featuring exciting original songs and a dash of comedy. There’s a host of brand new performers you’ll be able to claim with pride ‘I saw them first’, mixed with iconic, established names – truly the best in the biz.”

The festival is proudly brought to you with the support of the City of Stonnington and the Ron and Margaret Dobell Foundation.
