Live music is the heartbeat of the City of Port Phillip. Our heart was broken when our beloved local venues and festivals fell quiet as the COVID-19 pandemic changed how we gather and celebrate.
As part of the Live Music Action Plan, Port Phillip Council has launched a series of initiatives to help the local music industry recover and continue to bring the joy of live music into our communities. Explore the programs below to see how we can help.
It's time to bring our City—and it's live music—back to life.
