The live music sector is the most critical component of the overall music supply chain. Not only does it provide a creative proving ground for Artists, it sustains the vital platforms and infrastructure required to develop and commercialise an artist’s IP.
Businesses that operate in the Live Music sector employ thousands of skilled, knowledge workers and technicians. They also provide commercial opportunities for thousands of small businesses that work within the sector – from stage crews to signage companies, security companies and food vans… and many more.
Our membership is made up of around 2,000 general members, 145 financial members and represents 26 individual industry subsectors across every state and territory, with approximately 30,000 workers represented.
The Australian Live Music Business Council is funded through the generous contribution of members and Friends of the ALMBC as well as core funding through Music Australia.
At a time when the live music industry is in crisis, the following people have provided much needed financial support to fund our advocacy efforts.
Thank you.

Media Rare
Destroy All Lines Touring and Good Things Festival
