It's no secret that some of the biggest live music fans out there are the artists themselves, and since launching yesterday, the Don't Kill Live Music petition has already reached 62,000 signatures (at the time of writing), as music lovers in NSW are called upon to help save the state’s live music scene.
A number of prominent festivals, artists and other music industry representatives - including Listen Out, Falls Festival, Splendour In The Grass, Peking Duk, Flight Facilities, Live Nation Australia, Courtney Barnett, Download, The Presets and the recently-cancelled Mountain Sounds festival - have signed a petition and are sharing their support on social media against a new festival license from NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian and her government that would have dire outcomes for live events around the state.
The support rally is due to take place at Hyde Park in Sydney on 21 February from 6pm – 8pm.
