About The Hi-Fi

Hidden beneath the Century Building, The Hi-Fi in Melbourne is an iconic underground live music venue known for intimate atmosphere and now operating under its current identity since 2015 as Max Watt's House of Music. With a capacity of about 850, it’s a go-to spot for fans of indie rock, pop, and alternative acts. The main floor is general admission standing, with limited seating and a mezzanine/back balcony area for those who want a view from above.

Whether you’re snagging tickets for a legendary Australian act like Powderfinger or Hoodoo Gurus, or catching a show from rising local talents, we’ve got you covered with straightforward, no-fuss booking. Below you’ll find practical details on seating, parking, transit, and nearby hotel and dining options to help you plan your night in Melbourne’s CBD.

For a hassle-free experience, secure your seats early and check our affiliate partner listings for convenient hotel stays and dining nearby. The Hi-Fi has a rich history in Melbourne’s live music scene and remains a cornerstone venue for both touring artists and festival showcases tied to events like the Melbourne Comedy Festival Festival Club. Reach the venue via Swanston Street tram lines or a quick ride from Melbourne Central Station, then walk a short distance to the basement entrance at 125 Swanston Street.

Venue details, accessibility, and transport options are provided to help you plan your visit with confidence.
