AMW will cover a full range of music-related topics to sink your teeth into from touring, management and marketing to mental health, diversity, the business of music, streaming, radio and more.
The live lineup is now fully stacked with multi award-winning Australian singer songwriter, Shellie Morris, Sydney alt-rockers RedHook, and hip-hop MC, Mirrah joining AMW’s live element today.
“If you are in the music industry scouting for new talent or a music fan looking for your new favourite act, Australian Music Week is without a doubt the place to be this November,” said program director, Geoff Trio.
