From the fun-loving humble beginnings in St. Kilda to the international stages of Glastonbury, Istanbul, Montreal, Edinburgh, New York and beyond, the Melbourne Ska Orchestra has steered their ramshackle train into the hearts of many.
Initially formed in 2003 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the birth of ska, their infectious energy soon earned them slots at Bluesfest and WOMADelaide, a recording contract and accolades from all over the world. Two ARIA award wins cemented their reputation as one of Australia’s best live acts.
To celebrate 20 years of Melbourne Ska Orchestra, the band is hitting the road to bring their signature international big band ska sound to stages across the country.
