LIVE MUSIC + EVENTS SPACE
Located on the ground floor of the iconic George Hotel Building on St Kilda’s Fitzroy St. The heritage building has stood since 1857 from which it has housed many uses and influential personalities. Its ornate external and internal features provide an image of the suburbs early development and significance to the evolving architecture since the mid 1800’s.
Today George Lane resides below the former Crystal Ballroom which was a music venue located within the George Hotel. It has often been referred to as the centerpiece of Melbourne's post-punk movement, showcasing groups such as The Birthday Party, Dead Can Dance, Hunters and Collectors, Models, Crime and the City Solution and The Moodists, as well as visiting Sydney bands INXS, The Laughing Clowns and Midnight Oil, and Brisbane's The Go-Betweens and The Saints.
George Lane is proud to contribute and be a part of a new St Kilda Live Music Story.
George Lane respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land on which we live, work, play and hold our events. We also pay our respects to the thousands of years of song writing and storytelling of the people of the Kulin Nations and all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders past and present.
