The NSW state government has announced international artists will receive reduced venue hire fees if they have Australian musicians open their shows.

The incentive will initially be available for two years, and it applies to the state’s largest venues, including Accor Stadium, the Sydney Cricket Ground and the Opera House.

It comes after years of challenges for Australian musicians, from declining local live music during COVID to the cancellation of music festivals.
