Vista Vibes — Live Music ft. Ian Banks

Live Music at Marnong Estate with Ian Banks

Ease into the afternoon with live music at Marnong Estate, where relaxed acoustic sounds meet open skies and long Sunday moments. From 2:00pm to 5:00pm, the Main Lawn becomes a place to slow down, unwind, and enjoy the simple pleasure of live music in a beautiful setting.

This week, Marnong Estate welcomes Ian Banks, a solo acoustic artist known for his easygoing style and crowd-favourite repertoire. Ian brings a familiar, feel-good energy to the lawn, creating an atmosphere that feels welcoming from the first note.

Ian specialises in well-loved hits from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, blending nostalgia with a relaxed acoustic approach. Rather than overpowering the space, his performances sit comfortably in the background, encouraging conversation, connection, and lingering afternoons. As a result, the music feels perfectly matched to a laid-back Sunday session.

Meanwhile, guests stretch out on picnic blankets* and enjoy estate wines as the afternoon unfolds. At the same time, sweeping views across the Macedon Ranges frame the lawn. Eventually, as the light softens, the music carries the mood and gently guides the afternoon into evening.
