Highlight Of The Year

The endurance and adaptability of the Australian music industry. You can ignore it, defund it, casualise it, belittle it, reduce it to the smiling face of Guy Sebastian for a photo op, throw a pandemic at it, shut it down for six months and it will give you Isol-Aid, fundraising gigs, remotely recorded albums, physically distanced music videos and come out with a better sense of itself than ever before.

Prediction For Next Year

The Berlinisation of Melbourne, in which empty buildings are taken over by arts collectives, gigs and festivals happen in warehouses in a prismatic display of cultural freedom that future generations refer to as the golden age between the wars.
