The line-up consists of 80 performers who will take the stage at venues across the city over ten days and nights. Melbourne's Recital Centre Salon hosts the event's opening night concert on April 29th, featuring a recital of Place by the Andrea Keller Quartet with Strings.

Among the other highlights on the bill is the April 30th MJFF Warehouse Party, which includes an iPhone jam session enabling people to use their favourite sound apps to create a "sonic world". The event will be held at 22 Ovens Street in Brunswick and is due to start at 20:30 local time. Admission costs AU$10 on the door. A celebration featuring the likes of VU Band and 12 Tone Diamonds has been organised to mark the closing night on May 8th.
