Trivia Night 2026!

June 6, 2026

The Melbourne Rainbow Band Trivia Night is back for 2026, and we’re serving up another fabulous evening of brain‑bending questions, belly laughs and camp chaos — all hosted by the incomparable Frock Hudson. Get ready for a night where your grey matter gets a workout and your funny bone gets a tickle.

Bring a team of six or eight, or book individual seats and make some new friends on the night. Whether you’re a trivia buff, a wild guesser, or simply here for Frock’s fabulousness, everyone’s welcome at the table.

Drinks will be available at bar prices — no BYO, but you’re absolutely welcome to bring your own snacks to fuel your thinking. Please note: no one under 18 is permitted without a supervising parent or guardian.

Every ticket sold helps support the Melbourne Rainbow Band, ensuring we can keep making music, building community, and bringing colour and pride to stages across the city.

Doors open at 6:30pm. First round starts at 7:00pm

Beyond The Horizon

May 7, 2026


Presented by the Melbourne Rainbow Band 🎶🌈

Beyond the Horizon invites audiences to look forward — toward possibility, hope, and a future still unfolding. A horizon is something we can see but not yet touch, a reminder of dreams, progress, and the promise of something better, even when the path ahead is uncertain.

This concert celebrates the ongoing journey toward LGBTQIA+ equality. While meaningful strides have been made, the horizon reminds us that inclusion, safety, and representation are not endpoints. They are commitments we continue to pursue. Through music, we explore moments of uncertainty, resilience, and courage — honouring those who have led the way and inspiring us to imagine what comes next.

For individuals, Beyond the Horizon speaks to growth: stepping into new chapters, claiming space, and shaping futures grounded in authenticity rather than fear. For communities, it reflects solidarity — the understanding that progress happens when we move forward together.

For the Melbourne Rainbow Band, this performance embodies our mission to champion visibility, inclusion, and pride through music. It affirms our role not only as a musical ensemble, but as a beacon of representation and advocacy. Every note is an act of presence; every performance is a declaration that LGBTQIA+ voices belong — now and in the future.

📍 Venue: Kensington Town Hall, 30 Bellair St, Kensington
🕖 Time: Saturday 6 June 2026, 7:00pm
🎟️ Tickets: $30 ($24 concession). Visit the ticket link to book.

Join us as we look beyond the horizon and celebrate the power of music to illuminate the way forward.

Proudly supported by the City of Melbourne
