If you’re an established Victorian festival organiser, a Live Music Festivals Fund grant can support you to stage new or existing events in Victoria with a capacity of more than 1000 people. The program will  provide opportunities for local artists, from those just starting out to established acts, and give Victorian music lovers the chance to see more great local live music.

At least 25 per cent of funding will go to music festivals and live music venues in regional Victoria.

The 2024 Live Music Festivals Fund program will be delivered by Music Victoria, with the first round supporting festivals starting from 1 July 2024.
