Join us for an intimate Q&A discovering the art behind booking opening acts for some of the biggest shows around Australia.
How do you go about pitching to open for a touring international artist? How do you find out whether an artist you admire is booking their own openers, or working with an agent? How do you pitch yourself to a booking agency or a festival programmer?
Generations of Australian artists have grown their audience base and honed their performance chops through a mixture of strategically booked opening slots, often leading them to national acclaim and international touring opportunities.
In this exclusive panel and Q&A, we will hear from booking agents, festival management and artists who have cut their teeth with opening slots around the country.
Special guests will be confirmed shortly.
