From The Vault

PBS has been busy restoring its archive of analogue reel-to-reel tapes to preserve the incredible collection of live performances recorded by keen volunteers during our early days; fledgling local bands and already famous international artists passing through Melbourne, recorded in the pubs and concert venues of the time.

We’re now proud as punch to be able to bring these historic and valuable audio documents to you From The Vault.

National Reconciliation Week 2026

Wed 27 May 2026 to Wed 3 Jun 2026

Community News

National Reconciliation Week 2026 runs May 27 to June 3.

This year's Reconciliation Week theme is All In. It's a call for every Australian to commit wholeheartedly to reconciliation, not just this week, but every single day. Reconciliation isn't something that happens on its own, and it's not the sole responsibility of First Nations people, who have carried that weight for far too long. It asks something of all of us.

On Diamond - Melon on the Vine

Mon 20 Oct 2025 to Sun 26 Oct 2025

Feature Sounds

This week's PBS Feature Album is On Diamond's Melon on the Vine.

The second album from alternative/experimental pop band On Diamond, Melon on the Vine explores themes of time, grief and desire, while centering on the pursuit of connection.

The band’s distinctive sound unfurls with expressive detail, bringing each song’s world to life. Imagery of rotting fruit, crawling mountains, and rogue sheep evoke dysfunction in a dream-like reflection of personal and collective realities.
