Overview
Australia is host to a wide range of music festivals which play an important role in Australia’s live music sector and provide positive benefits to our society and our economy.
In recent years, however, music festival organisers have been faced with unprecedented challenges due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, extreme weather events, regulatory changes and rising operational costs. Greater knowledge is needed to understand these challenges and support the ongoing sustainability of the Australian music festival industry.
Music Festival Dashboard
The dashboard below is an interactive tool designed to be used in conjunction with the Soundcheck report. It provides data on the location and characteristics of music festivals held in Australia during the 2022-23 financial year.
Please note that the data below is a static snapshot of festivals held between July 2022 and June 2023. Some festivals in this dataset may no longer be in operation and other new festivals may have started since the data was collated. While every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, it is possible that omissions may be present.
Note: This dashboard was designed as a static snapshot of data as presented in the Soundcheck report. Following the publication of Soundcheck, three additional music festivals were identified and have been added to the dashboard. As a result, numbers and percentages presented in the dashboard may differ slightly from the figures published in Soundcheck. No further updates are planned.
