Melbourne is a world-class live music destination, hosting an estimated 62,000 live concerts annually, more venues per capita than Austin, Texas, and earning its reputation as Australia's live music capital. The city is a fertile ground for a wide range of genres, notably pioneering the upbeat electro house subgenre known as Melbourne Bounce, with artists like Will Sparks and Joel Fletcher shaping its sound. Its punk and indie rock scenes have a strong footing, exemplified by The Tote, often called "the home of rock," and a history that includes the experimental post-punk Little Band scene of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Iconic venues like The Espy, Cherry Bar, and The Corner Hotel are integral to the city's enduring musical legacy.
