It’s encouraging to see the parliamentary inquiry addressing the challenges faced by Australia’s live music sector. Monitoring for anti-competitive conduct could help level the playing field for artists and venues, ensuring that smaller acts have the same opportunities as larger ones. Additionally, tackling extreme dynamic pricing is a critical step toward making live music more accessible to all fans. This could not only support artists and venues but also foster a more vibrant and diverse music scene in Australia. Let’s hope these recommendations lead to meaningful changes that support the industry and its stakeholders!
