Nova Entertainment is set to launch a new live music initiative in Melbourne with the debut of Nova’s Skyline Sessions, transforming QT Melbourne’s rooftop into an open-air acoustic performance space across four Saturday nights in July and August.
Nova’s Skyline Sessions
Free and open to the public (18+), the series begins Saturday 5 July with Lachie Gill, winner of The Voice Australia, performing an exclusive 30-minute acoustic set. Gill will be followed by Jem Cassar-Daley (12 July), Chris Lanzon (2 August), and Sam McGovern (16 August), each delivering stripped-back performances from 8:00pm to 8:30pm.
“I’m excited to be playing for you at Nova’s Skyline Sessions. For the last year I have been working on new material and can’t wait to share it with you first,” said Gill ahead of his performance.
The evolution of Nova’s Red Room
The concept marks the first time Nova has launched a live music event series of this kind. While its established Nova’s Red Room has brought global artists like Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish and The Kid Laroi to intimate stages, Skyline Sessions opens up Nova’s live music offering to a general audience without ticketing barriers.

Brendan Taylor, Group Programming Director at Nova Network, said the collaboration with QT Melbourne was a natural evolution. “Nova has always been committed to bringing great live music experiences to Australian audiences, and Nova’s Skyline Sessions is the next chapter. We’re proud to partner with QT Melbourne to offer Melburnians a unique music experience under the stars.”
