Red Bull Music Festival will be headed to Melbourne this October 15-20. The live music establishment has laid its roots in various locations across the globe, but this is the first time the event will be headed to Australia.

The week will see a variety of events, workshops and talks that will celebrate both new and established artists. Taking to nine venues across six days, there's something for everyone in there.

On the hip-hop side of things, they've nabbed Sampa The Great to perform at The Forum, who will be armed with her new record The Return at that point.

Baker BoyJesswarGenesis OwusuDallas Woods and more front the Aussie aspect of the hip-hop lineup. They'll be joined by a huge array of international acts like New Zealand's JessBThandiswa Mazwai of South Africa, US rapper Joey Purp and more.
