The Push

Bodyjar, Killing Heidi, Frenzal Rhomb, Magic Dirt, Regurgitator and others will perform in the heart of Melbourne, celebrating 40 years of The Push this spring.

A group of young Aussies and The Push called for stronger national infrastructure to support people with dreams of making and participating in music.

“This donation directly supports national music programs that build confidence, friendship and belonging, making participation simple and social for every young Australian."

"More than three in five of those we surveyed say attending live music events is important to them."

A new report finds 42% of respondents would pay for a streaming platform dedicated to Australian music.

The Push is seeking to help venues host drug, alcohol, and vape-free live music events at low or no cost to communities.

Iconic musician Ollie Olsen and legendary music youth organisation The Push will be inducted into the Hall Of Fame for their impact on the Victorian music scene.

59% of 16-25-year-olds state that cost is a barrier to going to shows, and 35% describe cost as the “most significant” barrier.

“The session will provide a valuable opportunity to network… and discuss what a thriving live music scene looks like for Warrnambool.”

Another huge year ahead for The Push.

It's a big line-up...

"Being able to see live music allows young adults to see themselves represented on stage and find community."
