The Federal Government’s Revive Live program is providing $11.6 million in 2025–26 to support Australian-owned venues and festivals in presenting original live music and building strong, sustainable futures. Grants can be used to strengthen programming, support artist fees, improve accessibility, upgrade infrastructure, and expand audience reach.
Music Victoria and the VMDO present an online information session on Friday 12 September at 11am with Office for the Arts on the Revive Live program.
Rob Hall, Assistant Director Contemporary Music, will outline the program’s aims, eligibility requirements, funding priorities, and what assessors are looking for in applications. The session will conclude with a live Q&A, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and gain direct insights.
Applications close at 11:30 pm AEST on Friday 26 September 2025. If you’re a venue operator or festival organiser, this is for you.
Register for the information session here.
More information regarding Revive Live can be found here.
