The Living End perform at The Corner
Words by Gabriela Caeli Sumampow
The letter was signed by over a hundred Victorian live music venues.
Save Our Scene, the Victorian body launched last year to raise awareness for a COVID-hit live music industry, has issued an Open Letter to the Victorian government today, bringing attention to the possible closure of live music venues if they don’t receive assistance from above.
The Open Letter was signed by some of Victoria’s most beloved venues: The Forum, The Corner, The Espy, The Old Bar, The Curtin – you name it. These venues are among over a hundred in need of a clear and balanced roadmap for easing restrictions, and more importantly – for venue capacities to increase so that Victorian music venues can further open its doors.
