The City of Greater Geelong is partnering with Live Music Locator to deliver a pilot program to make it easier to find live gigs.
The new Live Music Locator is a free service supported by the City aimed at listing all of the upcoming live music gigs in one place, and on an easy-to-read map.
The filtering tool helps users discover the gigs best suited to them, with options to select various musical genres, venues and timings.
The pilot aims to make live music more accessible for local, national and international audiences, along with artists and venues alike.
Mayor Stretch Kontelj OAM:
There is so much live music to discover in Greater Geelong, but until now, there was never one place for people to see all of the gigs.The City is proud to be supporting this pilot, and I hope the community will get onboard and support local artists and venues.
Arts & Culture, Hospitality & Live Entertainment portfolio chair Councillor Eddy Kontelj:
Our City is home to some incredible live acts.While we know of so many, there's so many more waiting to be discovered, and this website will facilitate that while also encouraging people to get out and support venues and the local economy.
The Arts & Culture, Hospitality & Live Entertainment portfolio is all about initiatives such as this and continuing to promote and support our local entertainers, musos and hospitality venues.
