Melbourne Zoo announces the full lineup for their annual summer concert series Zoo Twilights.

Joining previously announced acclaimed songwriter and iconic American voice Cat Power are some of the most exciting artists touring the world now. Melbourne's very own cosmopolitan party-starters Client Liaison will ring in the first evening of Zoo Twilights, joined by dynamic live force, Kira Puru.

Opening weekend will also feature a rare triple bill of Australian artists spanning genres and generations; Briggs, Archie Roach and Alice Sky.

Hear Australian music icon, Sherbet frontman and king of pop, Daryl Braithwaite, perform 'The Horses' and other classics, alongside Ross Wilson's five decades of hits.

Dive into the dense poetic mazes and the lush lyrical worlds of both Sampa The Great and REMI, who will be supported by local R&B powerhouse Thando.

Witness Australian indie-pop royalty Vera Blue perform tracks from her latest and beautifully personal record 'Perennial', with support from Kesmar's swirling synths and disco vibes.

Say 'Hello' to world-renowned party band The Cat Empire, with their high energy, genre-defying dancefloor anthems that have taken them to every corner of the globe. Hear them alongside the hypnotic grooves of Melbourne's The Meltdown.

Grammy-nominated Aloe Blacc takes to the Zoo Twilights stage with special guest, local R&B legend Kaiit. Rufus Wainwright melds both the beautifully moving with the powerful and bombastic with support from formidable performer Mojo Juju.

Join multi-platinum pop-rock trio Hanson for a show packed with their catchy catalogue of pop tracks. Embark on a kaleidoscopic journey into neo-soul with phenomenal collective The Internet, and see Marlon Williams bring his cinematic strings, rollicking guitar, tender piano moments and that acclaimed voice to another must-see Zoo Twilights show, alongside experimental pop Melbournian Laura Jean.

The Zoo Twilights series will run each weekend from 25 January to 9 March, with all proceeds from ticket sales going back into Zoos Victoria's efforts to save the Eastern Barred Bandicoot from extinction.

Tickets on sale Tuesday, October 30 at 8 am (Local Time).
