The Forum Melbourne is an iconic venue in Melbourne. Shortly following it’s 93rd birthday the other day, it was filled to capacity for another evening of live music.
South east Melbourne artist Mlbrn opened the evening, passionately expressing his experiences through his music. He even took a brave moment to do a “shoey” from a punter’s work boot.
The crowd waited with excited anticipation to finally see Australia’s premier hip hop artists hit the stage. The atmosphere was palpable when the opener of “The Prophecy” came on with Bliss N Eso making an dynamic entrance onstage.
From start to finish, fans had their hands lifted, chanting and engaging to every track, with Bliss N Eso running through their extensive catalogue. From their latest release “The Sun” including “Send it” , “Good People”, and “OG’s” to the classics “Reflections” and “The Sea is Rising”. As the night heated up, off came MC Bliss’ shirt and on came special guest Fergus James as they performed “Know Yourself” for the first time.
Bliss N Eso go from strength to strength in their live performances and there’s no letting up. Still one the reigning aussie hip hop OGs.
