More support to host Australian music festivals is now available.
Round 7 of the Australian Government's $20 million Live Music Australia program is now open, and festivals that showcase live original Australian music are encouraged to apply for funding.
The program brings more live music to Australian communities, delivering $2.5 million to the sector each round through an open competitive grants process.
This round is focused on supporting music festivals, recognising their important role in the Australian music ecology and the significant difficulties they've faced in recent years. Organisations and businesses holding a music focused festival that presents live performances of original music by predominantly Australian artists are eligible to apply.
Applications for round 7 close on 17 October 2023 at 11.30pm AEDT. To find out more and apply, visit Live Music Australia | Office for the Arts.
The Live Music Australia program aligns with the Australian Government's National Cultural Policy Revive, recognising the Australian music sector as a vibrant part of our arts and culture landscape.
