The Australian music industry has suffered another damaging blow after the cancellation of Queensland's long-running Caloundra Music Festival.
  • In short: After a 17-year run, the Caloundra Music Festival has been cancelled for 2024.
  • The festival director said rising costs and a tough economic climate were to blame.
  • What’s next? Musicians are calling for better public support for the industry by buying tickets or spreading the word.

    Support by buying tickets? Fuck you. Last time I went to a concert pre covid, tickets were $75. Now tickets for the same or equal acts are running $500-$1000 per ticket.

    Eat shit with your concerts, events and tickets. Nobody can afford them anymore
