Nouvelle Vague is scheduled to perform at 170 Russell in Melbourne, Australia on October 2nd, 2026. The French musical collective is known for their distinctive approach to performing primarily post-punk, new wave, and indie pop songs as bossa nova and jazz arrangements. Originally formed in 2004, the group features rotating female vocalists and a core of instrumentalists, reinterpreting tracks from bands like Joy Division, The Cure, and Blondie with a uniquely relaxed and stylish sound.

170 Russell is a prominent live music venue located in the Melbourne Central business district. Originally constructed as a warehouse in the late 19th century, it has undergone several transformations throughout its history. Prior to becoming a dedicated music space, the building functioned as a market and storage facility. It gained recognition as a significant live music destination under various names including The Arthouse and most recently, 170 Russell. The venue is characterized by its raw industrial aesthetic and capacity for both intimate and larger-scale performances. It regularly hosts national and international acts across diverse genres. The building's interior maintains much of its original structural elements contributing to its unique atmosphere.
