There is perhaps no other genre aside from heavy music that predominantly relies on touring and the live sector for a significant percentage of its income.
Australia is home to some of the country’s premiere metal, heavy and punk bands, and is currently ushering in a whole new wave of artists ready to take the scene global. And now, with the emergence of more players in recent history to stand alongside the likes of UNIFY, like the Good Things and Download Festivals, the market for more Australian heavy festivals is opening up once more.
Join a panel of label representatives, festival organisers, tour bookers and DSP representatives to discuss the current state of play when it comes to Australian heavy music, where the scene’s current challenges lay, and predictions for the year.
