Some 60 events will be held from November 24 to December 10 as part of the $20 million Always Live program by the Victorian government.
It will feature more than 165 artists and many of the performances will be free.
The 17-day concert series will kick off with a performance from Aguilera at Flemington Racecourse, while Garrett and his band The Alter Egos will play the Wangaratta Arts Centre.
Other highlights include a day-long festival at Mornington Park curated by ARIA winner Tones and I, featuring the Veronicas, Cat Empire and other local artists.
Amyl and the Sniffers, Swedish DJ Eric Prydz and Jessie Ware are also part of of the series.
The Victorian government said the first Always Live events in 2022 delivered more than $80 million to the local economy.
Program director Matt Gudinski said live music is part of what makes Melbourne great.
"(It) ensures Victoria remains the music capital of Australia," he said.
