A campaign has been launched by Powderfinger bass player John Collins to pressure the Queensland Government to ease COVID-19 restrictions in Brisbane live music venues.

Mr Collins, the venue director of The Triffid and Fortitude Music Hall in Brisbane, launched the Play Fair campaign, saying strict restrictions on music venues are unfair while sporting arenas like Suncorp Stadium have been allowed to open at 100 per cent capacity. 

The Play Fair petition has reached over sixteen thousand three hundred signatures since opening six days ago.
