Live Music Australia - Round 5

The Live Music Australia program will provide support to the live music sector, with a focus on music focused festivals presenting original Australian live music acts under round five.

To receive funding under Round 5 of the Live Music Australia program you will need to demonstrate your commitment to hosting a primarily music focused festival, committed to presenting original Australian live music acts. Multi-disciplinary arts or food festivals in which music as secondary function are not eligible to apply. Festivals that use multiple venues in a geographical area are eligible to apply, as are festivals that run over a longer period of time than one weekend a year.

The program will:

• support the development, growth and innovation of Australian contemporary live music by increasing performance opportunities for original contemporary music by Australian artists
• support a sustainable venue-based live music industry by building professional capacity within venues
• support partnerships, collaboration and networks across the Australian live music industry.
