A New Service For Musicians Is Coming - Performer Applications Alert
Are you a performer trying to get into the Australian music festival scene?  It's not surprising!  Australian music festivals are a great way to get your name out there.

​Check out the details of this new service from Oz Music Festivals here.

Picture
​$13,000 cash injection for Grampians Music Festival (Halls Gap, VIC).  A grant of $13,000 will help push the Grampians Music Festival into one of the state’s major music events.  The festival received the funding through the state government’s Creative Victoria Music Works grant program.  Full article here.

Australia's Gastest Growing Country Music Festival Announces Name Change (Broadbeach, QLD).  Now entering its sixth year, the free Gold Coast event Broadbeach Country Music Festival has announced a name change to…   Groundwater Country Music Festival.   Full article here.

Dozens of drug-related arrests at Subsonic Music Festivals stuns authorities (Monkerai, NSW).  With dozens of police standing sentinel on the rural roads leading into a bush rave festival on the mid-north coast, there was always the threat of some arrests.  See the full article here.

Call out for musicians for Katoomba Live and Local (Katoomba, NSW).  Katoomba CBD will host a family-friendly micro music festival in 2018 and organisers are looking for local acts for the event.  Blue Mountains Mayor Councillor Mark Greenhill has urged local musicians to submit an expression of interest to perform at the event.  Full article.
