Riot Baby dance party at Hawthorn Arts Centre

Melbourne’s most playful punk band Riot Baby brings the mayhem to Hawthorn Arts Centre for one special day this Spring school holidays. Riot Baby is a punk band for kids, by kids and parents. They make fast and loud music for little people, and the big people that take them to gigs. Riot Baby’s songs are about the issues facing kids and parents, like navigating late-stage capitalism, pandemics, disasters, bullies, and big feelings. Already the Melbourne music scene’s youngest veterans, Riot Baby has played at Brunswick Music Festival and St Kilda Festival, as well as some of Melbourne’s iconic live music venues including The Tote, The Old Bar and Brunswick Ballroom. Hawthorn Arts Centre is a cultural hotspot that has something for all decibels of creativity in the school holidays, from weaving and drawing workshops, to magic trick mayhem and big punk energy.
