What’s on around Canberra this weekend 17-19 June

This weekend, 17-19 June, is looking to be another chilly one, so we recommend spending it somewhere inside nice and warm, especially at night.

The Capital is full to the brim of live music and performances; both Short Stack and Xavier Rudd stop by on their national tours, while The Naked Magicians perform their final ever show at the Canberra Theatre, and Canberra Quire bring their joyful Let the Rainbow Sing concert to the Q, Queanbeyan.
