"Our music industry supports thousands of jobs and injects millions into our economy, and we’re helping the sector get back on track.”

Mushroom founder Michael Gudinski added, "Live music is integral to the heart and soul of Australia.

"These COVID safe concerts may be a little different to what we’re used to but the chance to finally experience live music again is incredibly exciting. This is the state of music and the Victorian Government have been major music supporters."
