About

Presenters, promoters, and talent buyers can help artists open up new markets and reach larger audiences.

This workshop will take you inside the decision making process of Aboriginal music festivals, Native owned casinos, and mainstream performance theatres to help you realistically determine if your act is ready to perform alongside their headliners or opening acts.

The panelists will talk about their venues/events and the type of music they book. They’ll also identify the best way for bands to get their foot in the door.
