Music venues in Victoria have sent out the desperate message that there is no roadmap to reopening Victoria’s music venues.
The current roadmap ends at 1 person per 4 square meters which is just a fraction of normal licensed capacity. You can have up to 150 people but only if your venue is over 600 square meters which means most venues won’t be opening at all at that level, or be able to trade sustainably.
The new rules impact artists, bookers, promoters, technicians, suppliers, publicists and others in the music industry.
