This aims to support whole new calendar of live gigs and festivals during 2022 and 2023, offering audiences a great opportunity to get along to a music performance.

These events will enrich our state and attract visitors boosting local businesses, with other support bolstering the industry for the future.

Live music and performance venues are integral to the development and employment of our talented local musicians, both in our regions and in Adelaide, Australia’s first and only UNESCO City of Music.

From today, there are three initiatives available through the See It LIVE package:

• E-vouchers that will help music acts get back into pubs, clubs, small bars, restaurants, cafes and other smaller venues.
• Events grants for SA-based promoters, organisations and businesses, to help meet costs including engaging musicians and technicians, marketing and promotion costs and ensuring the event is COVID-19 safe.
• Venue Improvement Grants to allow eligible venues to upgrade so they can cater for live music performances.

More programs are coming soon including:
