Creative Australia has published ‘Soundcheck 2: Analysis of Australian music festival models and operations’.

A follow up to the baseline insights covered in ‘Soundcheck’ (April 2024), the report provides further insights into the complex and diverse challenges facing music festival organisers.

The report identifies and examines five different ‘types’ of music festivals:

1. large commercial
2. small commercial
3. touring
4. large not-for-profit and,
5. small not-for-profit festivals.

Key findings include the need for measures to address rising insurance and policing costs, and that changes in ticket-buying behaviour are creating additional costs and risks.

With this in mind, Creative Australia and Music Australia are supporting an industry-led study that will look further into the drivers of increasing liability costs in the music festival industry.
