The Cat Empire’s performance will be recorded at The Forum, while The Temper Trap are set to play with the Australian Children’s Choir. Frente’s show will see them take to an empty stage with Alice Skye, Allara, Olympia and Katy Steele.

This week’s special collaboration has a country tinge, with Brad Cox, Casey Barnes, The Mclymonts and Little Quirks.

The sixth episode will be hosted by radio personality Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald, with Jane Gazzo. It marks the end of “Series 1” for the program, but it’s unclear whether a second will be released.

The State of Music is a weekly live-streamed program curated, filmed and recorded by Mushroom in partnership with the Victoria Government’s Victoria Together initiative.

Last week saw performances from The Rubens, Something For Kate, and Lime Cordiale. A special Mother’s Day episode saw an all-female lineup, with performances from Missy Higgins and Vera Blue. Paul Kelly, Tim Minchin, Archie Roach, The Hoodoo Gurus, G Flip and many more have also participated in the series.
