Correction (3 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 3 October 2026, and every price was copied from the page it was published on.
The page is brief, and that is deliberate. One place in and around Truganina had live music on the public record that we could confirm at two independent sources, and it sits in the neighbouring suburb of Tarneit, not in Truganina itself. That place is Hotel 520.
A live music guide is only as good as the listing behind it, so we have kept to what the pub’s own website prints and what we could read off its poster. We have not listed a band room or a gig night that we could not trace to a source.
The quick picks
| If you’re after | Head to | Order this | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| A pub whose own site advertises live entertainment in the main bar | Hotel 520 | CHICKEN PARMIGIANA | $30 |
Hotel 520 — 520 Sayers Road, Tarneit VIC 3029
Hotel 520’s own website carries a poster headed “LIVE entertainment MAIN BAR”. The poster is an image with no text layer, so what follows is our transcription of its October column: “OCTOBER 2ND - LET’S GO DISCO 9TH - RUDY 16TH - COP THIS 23RD - THE LEGENDS 30TH - LEMONADE”. Each date is followed by its act, so that is Let’s Go Disco on the 2nd, Rudy on the 9th, Cop This on the 16th, The Legends on the 23rd and Lemonade on the 30th. The poster prints no year or set times, so check hotel520.com.au before you plan a night around it. The site describes the venue as a place “to meet and catch up with friends offering entertainment for everyone”, and Satterley, the developer behind the Bluestone estate, describes it as having a bistro, sports bar and lounge area.
On the menu (copied from hotel520.com.au on 3 October 2026):
- CHICKEN PARMIGIANA: $30
- 520 BURGER: $28
- PORTERHOUSE 300G / GF /: $45
- LAMB SHANK / GF /: $35
Gig nights: the poster we read names dates and acts, but we found no set times, door price or capacity on it, so none are given here.
