SydneyMusic is shutting down

We’re saddened to report that SydneyMusic.net is ceasing operations and will no longer be online from Monday, the 15th of June. We had hoped that we would make it through a difficult period, but it has become clear that we can not go any further.

In the last 38 months we have researched and listed over 16,000 live music events. Every day we are told by our readers that they have been inspired to go and see more live music than they otherwise would have because of our resource.

Thank you to every one of our supporters that has helped us to get as far as we did.

The limited remaining funds in the organisation will be focused on transition and ensuring the organisation winds up well.

We love our live music community. We have learned countless amounts about the beautiful, wonderful noise that comes from our diverse and multifaceted local music ecosystem. We’re grateful for the opportunity to shine a light on as much of it as we could uncover.

Sydney music forever.

Joe, Caitlin and Will
