The One Night Stand is a great initiative but has previously only delivered a once-off sugar hit to regional economies. The support of Music Australia in building regional capacity to grow creative economies in regional spaces is a welcome move. There are aspirations in regional communities to host live music events and appetite from regional communities to attend music events. Let's find more ways to ensure creative industries can thrive in regional areas, particularly through regional touring circuits, live music venues, and youth arts programs. Side note: I can think of a number of regional areas in South Australia that could support a great visitor experience for a One Night Stand. -- Light Regional Council The Barossa Council Barossa Australia South Australian Tourism Commission Adelaide Plains Council REGIONAL COUNCIL OF GOYDER Regional Development Australia Barossa Gawler Light Adelaide Plains
We're stoked to support the return of One Night Stand - supporting Australian artists and engagement in regional communities! We'll also be using the unique opportunity to invest in local communities and the music industry with the introduction of place-based capacity building and skills development initiatives.

It’s true and a big misconception among Seattleites - cultural/community festivals cost $$$, months of planning and require longterm funding (sponsorships) are down nearly 60% since the pandemic. Northwest Marketplaces has yet to bring back the Seattle Street Food Festival which was considered the largest street food festival in the west coast back in 2028 and ceased operations in 2020 and hosted in South Lake Uniondue to over 100,000+ attendees that helps promote the neighborhood and contributes to the economic well being of the neighboring small businesses. Since the pandemic, there has been nearly a 40% increase in operational costs from waste management, security, permits, promotion and event rentals. While we don’t speak on behalf of the CIDBIA, we spent nearly four years working to co-produce their annual celebrations and believe that it’s a tradition that is dearly missed and essential to the cultural and economic vibrancy within the Chinatown community. Its more than just about the organizers; it’s how we connect and share the history of our city’s past, present and future. https://lnkd.in/gC4fTT-4

With the sun shining there's one thing on my mind- FESTIVAL SEASON. But with ticket costs at record high, and 36 festivals cancelling/postponing in 2024 so far, with ~100 predicted, the crisis has been cited as worse than Covid (John Roston, AIF CEO). To quell the doom and gloom I wanted to highlight a few campaigns aiming to buck these alarming trends, interested to hear of any others too! Drop the Headliner is one such campaign that's gained some traction, with SGP adopting the scheme this week . When one headliner can easily cost £100,000+, dropping just one big act can either save money or allow for better allocation of funds to improve experience. UK Music, a collective industry voice, are urging the UK government to cut VAT on tickets from 20% to 10% to bring them in line with the average EU rate. Whereas the Association of Independent Festivals is calling for this to drop to 5% for 3 years to offer a relief buffer. https://lnkd.in/eTDPCX-y. https://lnkd.in/eXWXJVXW https://lnkd.in/e3sUtqsj

Thank you BDmagAU. Bring on the North Australian Concert Hall. We are ready. …Similarly, the Australian Festival of Chamber Music (AFCM), which was born in Townsville three decades ago, continues to be a key economic driver in the region every year. The total spending associated with the AFCM in Queensland amounted to $9.32 million in 2023 and saw a return of $3.28 million in the state. Notably, 80% of this economic impact was felt in the Townsville region. Yet, arts organisations like AFCM are also facing challenges with financial constraints and the need for adequate infrastructure, which Executive Director Ricardo Peach says is vital to sustaining their growth, particularly amidst the current cost-of-living crisis. “Organisations like ours undergo cycles,” says Ricardo. “We receive a set amount of government funding that isn’t indexed. As inflationary pressures persist, our costs rise, so arts industries need local busineses and the broader community to support us now more than ever. “AFCM attracts many visitors not just from across Australia but also internationally. Infrastructure is essential for us and other local creative industries to ensure we can have a bigger piece of the pie and bring artistic and cultural events all year round, which, of course, would have a flow-on effect for the economy.” In the 2023/24 Townsville City Council budget, $45.7 million was assigned to community support programs, libraries, visual and performing arts, galleries, and events. Bolstering this, the Queensland Government allocated $50 million for a new concert hall, adding to the $100 million already granted from the Federal Government in 2021. This pending construction, while promising, highlights ongoing debates about resource allocation and the lack of performance venues for both amateur and professional organisations. However, it is a good indicator that the city is being recognised Queensland-wide for the artistic talent that is being cultivated in the region… Townsville City Council Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts Arts Queensland Townsville Enterprise (TEL)

This is a topic which is very close to my heart. I firmly believe that the love of reading which my parents gave me when I was very young has been the key to my success in my career. It has certainly been one of the great joys of my life. You may think that book festivals are a middle-class indulgence, but if you look at bit deeper at what festivals such as Hay Global actually do, you will see the 90% of the iceberg which is under the water - fantastic work with schools, underprivileged communities and aspiring creatives, in the UK and increasingly across the globe. This activity develops literacy and a love for self-directed reading. It also provides valuable work experience in difficult-to-access careers for young people who are not from a privileged background. As with all charities, it is becoming harder and harder for book festivals to access funding and the contribution of individuals is more and more important. You may not be able to attend one of these festivals in person, but take a look at their websites and you will find a huge range of resources which are available online for a small fee - check out the Hay Player, for example. It is a treasure trove of amazing talks, interviews and performances from many of the best-known names in the arts and sciences. I know most people in my network care passionately about ideas and knowledge as the way to create a better world. Book festivals are a great place to start - and to meet like-minded people. End of lecture - but do take a look and think about how you could contribute. 🙂
Book festivals improve our world. And we need your support to flourish. Today we are proud to join eight other UK festivals with a message of our collective impact and shared mission. https://lnkd.in/eHgXSACa

~Journalist ~Broadcaster ~Integrated PR/Marketing Consultant ~Event Chair | Telling captivating stories that drive action
I passionately believe that the joy of reading, and fulfilment from books, is a great leveller, to be enjoyed by EVERYONE. I whole-heartedly agree that Book Festivals improve our world - see the joint statement below from the UK's leading festivals, including Cambridge Literary Festival where I am a Trustee. Book Festivals are just magical. Just think: you can go from reading a book on your own.... - to then see the author who created it, up-close and in-person - get to hear the author share insights and perspectives that deepen the meaning of what you have read - hear a funny anecdote, inside joke or story they may never tell again - get to ask them your own burning questions - share a communal experience of the book that prreviously only 'lived' in your mind (unless you read out loud - what a joy!) - be the first to hear about their next books or ideas - meet them in person to hand over your copy of their work for personalised signing while you share a little chat - to leaving the event brimming with ideas, possibilities and maybe even new friends. Whatever your age, whatever your background, wherever you live - I urge you to get out there and enjoy your Book Festivals - especially if you haven't felt it was 'your thing' or thought they're 'not for you'. Hope to see you there! #books #bookfestivals #literaryfestivals #fiction #nonfiction #culture #liveevents #Publishing

How to turn a farm into the world's greatest music festival? Of course, it demands a huge amount of money, people and efforts. But the return is absolutely worthy, for the producers, the sponsors and specially for those who build this event or get the ticket to enjoy it. From the perspective of a music lover, I personally think that a festival is a celebration of life for many reasons, starting from the intense emotions and the life-changing experience that it can be. But also because a festival is also a great opportunity for people who: - Build the infrastructure. - Prepare the food and deliver the drinks. - Provide security for musicians, technicians and festival goers. - Offer transportation and accomodation, among other services. This video shows how the Glastonbury festival ("Glasto") is built in 26 days, and also part of its history, from the first edition in 1970 as the "Pop Folk & Blues" festival with nearly 1000 attendants, until today, with over 400 workers and 210.000 attendants. I have not attended many festivals, but I do follow them and dream with enjoying some ones with my kids.
