If you are a little sad that the
Fed Square Live 2012 event is coming to a end, here is something that will cheer you up; the
QV Summer Concert Series. This is a free month long event and runs on Fridays from 5:30pm, Saturdays from 2pm and Sundays from 2pm, between the 3rd of February and the 26th of February, 2012.
The QV Summer Concert Series is composed of weekend outdoor gigs and patrons will be able to relax on a beanbag or the grass. It is a family friendly event and is a great way to not only enjoy a balmy afternoon but also support the Australian live music scene.
