How is extreme weather impacting live music?

Over the weekend, an extreme heat wave in Victoria led to the cancellation of Pitch Music and Arts Festival. Last year, major rainfall drenched Meredith Music Festival. A few years before that, Splendour in the Grass was flooded. The music sector is facing the brunt of climate impacts while our government continues to approve new fossil fuel projects. Live music events will continue being impacted - and cancelled - unless we fix our national environment law to consider climate impacts and drastically cut our climate emissions this decade.
