The objective of the MDO Live Music Support Program is to enable South Australia’s live music industry to be ‘match–fit’ and ready for when live music and touring resumes with the reopening of borders and easing of COVID–19 restrictions, the assessment of applications will be through a competitive process with decisions made by a panel which will include industry representatives.

The Live Music Support Program will inject up to $3 million into South Australia’s live music industry to ensure the home of Australia’s only designated UNESCO City of Music is ready to  amp up post–pandemic.
