Drive

In a recent interview on 2SER Drive, Sean Hatzi spoke with APRA AMCOS CEO Dean Ormston about the Australian government’s $16.4 million investment in the Revive Live program. Ormston discussed the challenges facing the live music industry, including the loss of 1,300 venues over the past five years, and how this new funding will help revitalize venues and festivals. He also highlighted the need for structural reforms to ensure the long-term sustainability of the sector and explained why ticket sales, particularly for festivals, have been declining.
