Enjoy an energetic afternoon of live music at Marnong Estate, where powerful vocals, open skies, and a vibrant atmosphere come together on the Main Lawn. From 2:00pm to 5:00pm, guests are invited to settle in, enjoy the surroundings, and experience live music that lifts the pace of the day.

This week, live music at Marnong Estate welcomes Jake Carlson, who captured national attention after reaching the Top 21 on Australian Idol 2024. Jake brings confidence, stage charisma, and a strong connection with his audience, creating performances that feel both polished and emotionally engaging.

Jake is known for his powerhouse vocals and heartfelt delivery. Each performance balances energy with authenticity, allowing moments of intensity to sit alongside quieter, more reflective songs. As a result, his sets feel dynamic and engaging while remaining perfectly suited to an open-air afternoon on the lawn.

Meanwhile, guests relax on picnic blankets* and enjoy estate wines as the afternoon unfolds. At the same time, sweeping views across the Macedon Ranges frame the lawn and enhance the experience. Eventually, as the sun lowers, the music fills the space and draws people together, encouraging guests to linger and enjoy the moment.
