There's trouble in paradise
BRISBANE - Australia’s live industry is on the “brink of collapse” without immediate financial intervention from the federal government, with thousands of professionals already out of work amidst the escalating health crisis.
On Tuesday morning , Richardson put forward the live industry’s troubling case, and urged leaders to make available $850 million from its multi-billion-dollar bailout and stimulus package. Even without those restrictions, a tough new quarantine policy on foreign nationals entering Australia’s borders means the live industry will be starved of international content for weeks or months ahead.
Within hours of the government’s strict new measures to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus, Byron Bay Bluesfest announce it would cancel its April 2020 event, and July’s Splendour in the Grass would be moved back three months, to October. The Melbourne International Jazz Festival was scrapped early Wednesday.
