Following the abrupt shutdown of the Sunshine Coast venue Nightquarter over the weekend, San Sisco called for compensation from the Queensland government.

The venue shutdown due to complaints about Covid-19 safety protocols leaving the music group with inadequate time to reschedule their shows or accommodation and travel.

Another artist who played that night, Jaguar Jonze, said the Queensland government needs to make fairer assessments of the risks associated with live events and offer the same consideration to music industries as they have others.
