The Great Southern Nights initiative by the New South Wales government will bring 1,000 coronavirus-safe gigs to Sydney and regional parts of the state in November
Jimmy Barnes, Paul Kelly, Missy Higgins, Tones and I and Birds of Tokyo will headline the New South Wales government’s attempt to restart the shattered live music industry in November.
The government has announced 1,000 coronavirus-safe gigs will go ahead in November in a boon to artists, hospitality workers, music lovers and the struggling industry.
The Great Southern Nights initiative announced last Saturday brings together dozens of artists to perform a series of concerts across Sydney and regional parts of the state.
Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said the gigs would be an antidote to the recent challenges faced by the community and a gift for tourism in the state.
