27/06/2022 See it LIVE - support for our live music sector

The $10 million See It LIVE package will deliver a suite of measures to bring the state’s live music scene back to life.

The music industry has endured a tough period that saw major job losses, the cancellation of thousands of major events, and the closure of many small businesses since the beginning of the pandemic.

Becc Bates, Director of Creative Industries at the Department for Innovation and Skills and Music SA CEO Christine Schloithe outline the package, which includes a range of grants, a voucher scheme, mental health support programs, financing for venue upgrades, a live music advisory council, and a live music and event cancellation fund to support the industry’s recovery and get live musicians back on stage.

The new voucher and grant schemes will help the music industry stay viable, by providing more opportunities for artists while also revitalising South Australia’s night-time economy.
