Live production crew are the essential backbone of the music events we all enjoy. They're unseen as they go about setting up, and are loading out long after everyone has gone home. Their lifestyle takes a toll on their physical and mental health, with a suicide rate that's eight times the national average. The aim of this event is to bring public awareness to the diverse range of highly technical and creative skills require to make our concert dreams come true, AND raise desperately needed funds to help those in crisis.
Open to the public and industry alike, all profits go to
Support Act , a registered charity founded in 1997 by the music industry, for the music industry. This is your chance to show your support for the real behind the scenes workers in the concert and touring business. This event is being staged by a voluntary team of Australia's leading live production personnel and industry professionals.
