Over 50 artists join Great Southern Nights music event
Australian artists will perform over 1000 COVID-Safe gigs across Sydney and regional NSW in November 2020.
The event will support the NSW Government’s COVID-19 Recovery Plan to help kickstart the entertainment, hospitality and tourism industries.
All 1000 individual gigs will take place across eight different areas and regions of NSW, including:
- Blue Mountains
- Central Coast
- Country NSW
- Hunter
- North Coast
- Outback NSW
- South Coast
- Sydney.
The Presets, Tones And I, Julia Stone, Tash Sultana and Missy Higgins are among the Australian artists performing.
Minister for Jobs, Investment, Tourism and Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said artists and the live-music industry have shown overwhelming support for the program.
“The calibre of artists who have put their hand up to be part of the inaugural Great Southern Nights event is fantastic. We’re stoked that many artists have asked to play in regional NSW,” Minister Ayres said.
“Great Southern Nights will make a real difference for communities recovering from drought, bushfires and COVID-19.”
Great Southern Nights is an NSW Government initiative in partnership with the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).
