The likes of Alice Skye, Allday, The Chats, JK-47, Mallrat, The Smith Street Band, Sycco, Teenage Joans, Thelma Plum and others have teamed with youth music organisation The Push in bringing the All-Ages Tour to regional Victoria.
Set to take place across seven weekends in every corner of the state (from Ballarat to Bruthen, Stawell to Sunbury, and Warrnambool to Wodonga), the All-Ages Tour will see two artists perform (plus local supports) at each event.Other artists set to perform are Alex Lahey, Dallas Woods, Kaiit, KIAN, MLBRN, and Ninajirachi.
"After a devastating 18 months for both young people and the contemporary live music sector, The Push is excited to have this opportunity to bring Australia's best artists to regional and outer-suburban Victoria," The Push CEO, Kate Duncan says.
"We're supporting a stack of incredible artists to get back on the road and into local venues – generating important employment opportunities in areas that have lacked cultural tourism throughout the pandemic, and rejuvenating the all-ages live music scene across the state."
Supported by the Victorian Government, each of the 18 events will be staged by teams of local young people, as a part of the Victorian Government FReeZA program – a youth development initiative that provides young people with industry skills and experiences in staging events in their local communities.
"I've loved diving into the music industry world with the support of everyone at The Push," Wangaratta FReeZA participant Leah Anderson-Byrne says.
"The tour has taught me so much about what it takes to put on an event of this size, plus the knowledge shared from industry professionals has been invaluable.
"It's going to be a magical event. I'm very proud to have worked on it."
All shows are all-ages, drug, alcohol and smoke-free, fully supervised events.
