A day of music insights

This year Yarra is staging an INDUSTRY DAY in appreciation of the work of not just musicians, but the entire kaleidoscope of freelancers and small businesses who keep the live music sector playing.

Music lovers and workers are invited to this rare event put on FOR them, not BY them. There will be food, there will be drinks, and there will be chats. Best of all, it will be FREE!

With Kiwat Kennell (Music Victoria’s Project and Community Manager) as your host for the day... enjoy some catering by Le Bon Ton, Dench Bakery, Brick Lane Brewery, Grainshaker Vodka & Neds Whisky, take part an immersive music experience guided by breath with Breathsesh and hear from key representatives in the music sector to shed light on current issues, opportunities and develop your career in the arts and entertainment industry.
