Live music has a way of making a room feel bigger than it is. Music experiences bring gigs, concerts and shows together, whatever the genre someone's into. RedBalloon music experiences suit birthdays, date nights or a gift for the friend who's always got a gig on the calendar. Book tickets for yourself, or gift someone their next favourite night out.
Some people want front row energy. Others want to make the music themselves. RedBalloon music experiences cover both, with hands-on workshops, live music venues and cruises that turn an afternoon into a story worth telling.
If they've always fancied a go behind the decks, the DJ Mixing Taster Course with Vinyl Records is a one-on-one music workshop in a Sydney record store, taught by working DJs. For the friend convinced they've got a hit song in them, the Rockstar Experience at Lennon Entertainment puts them in a real Adelaide recording studio with up to five mates, arcade games included.
Prefer to sit back and let the music come to them? The Sydney Harbour Chandon Long Lunch Cruise pairs live music with a three-course lunch and harbour views, while the Live Jazz and French Bistro Night Dining Experience in Perth serves up a live jazz duo alongside French bistro sharing plates. Both make an easy date night, or a gift experience that beats another candle.
A music experience gift gives someone a live, hands-on music moment instead of a physical present, think a recording session, a music workshop or a cruise with a live band, booked and gifted through RedBalloon.
Inclusions vary by experience. Workshops like the Japanese Drumming Workshop include tuition and equipment, while cruises like the Jazz Lunch Cruise on Sydney Harbour include food, drinks and live entertainment. Full details sit on each product page.
Yes. Alongside our Sydney options, you'll find music experiences in Adelaide, Perth and along the NSW north coast, including the Sunset Tweed River Cruise with live music and nibbles.
Not currently. Our music experiences are hands-on and live rather than ticketed, think recording studios, drumming workshops and dinner cruises with a live band.
We don't currently stock ongoing lesson series. For a one-off taste of making music, the Rockstar Experience with Recording Session or a music workshop is a great alternative, no lessons required beforehand.
Most RedBalloon experiences are bought as a gift voucher, so you can give it now and let the recipient choose their own date later. For in-demand experiences like the Sydney recording studio sessions, booking a few weeks ahead gives the best choice of times.
