TRACKING CANCELLED GIGS & LOST INCOME
#ilostmygigau
In a national survey of over 3,000 professionals, 32,000 gigs and events were found to have been cancelled, equating to nearly $94M of lost income since July 1st this year. Of this lost revenue, survey results showed 99% had no income protection or event cancellation insurance.
COVID-19 has led to the cancellation and postponement of hundreds of concerts, conferences, exhibitions, events and festivals across Australia and the rest of the world - with many more events still vulnerable. Many performers, artists, businesses and contractors have lost vital income.
The Australian Music Industry Network and the Australian Festival Association have joined with industry partners to tally the impact of these impacts on Australians - and hear your stories. We're working hard to find ways to support people and businesses who have been affected, so leave your details so we can connect with you in the future about funding opportunities and other support.
We would like to thank and acknowledge the original creators of ilostmygig.com out of Austin Texas who have been leading the way as they tally the losses from the SXSW cancellation.
