Rüfüs Du Sol celebrated the release of their fifth album, 'Inhale/Exhale,' with a sold-out pop-up show in Sydney, highlighting the resurgence of Australian electronic music amid a global boom. Meanwhile, a recent ABC investigation revealed that Live Nation's dominance in the Australian live music industry has led to the closure of over 1,300 venues and increased ticket prices due to hidden fees, causing distress among local artists. Industry experts and musicians have voiced concerns about the concentration of power among major promoters like Live Nation, which they argue stifles competition and harms the music scene. Live Performance Australia criticized the Four Corners report for oversimplifying the industry's challenges, asserting that issues extend beyond a single company. Nonetheless, the report has sparked outrage and calls for government intervention to protect local artists and venues. The conversation continues as the arts community grapples with the implications of these findings on Australia's vibrant live music landscape.
