Aussie music legend Paul Kelly, Big Day Out co-founder Ken West and CEO of ARIA Dan Rosen join the ranks of the 2019 Australian Music Week Conference.
Australia’s greatest and most enduring songwriter Paul Kelly joins AMW in a global podcast session with analyst Bob Lefsetz and a live audience on Saturday 6 November. Kelly is one of those rare artists to spin a long career that has delivered sold out tours, a number one album, multiple ARIA awards, an induction into the ARIA Hall Of Fame and an Order Of Australia.
As a co-founder of the Big Day Out, Ken West ran the Australian/NZ event for 22 years. The iconic music Festival attracted over five million fans in its lifetime and was headlined by some of the world’s biggest acts - from Nirvana, The Violent Femmes, Iggy Pop, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Chemical Brothers, Soundgarden, Coldplay, Foo Fighters and more. Ken will officially open Australian Music Week when he sits down with Bob Lefsetz and a live conference audience of delegates for a global podcast session on Wednesday 6 November.

Dan will deliver a state of play on Australian music, providing valuable insight into our business, our culture and consumer listening behaviour.
