This August, music experts, artists, policymakers, academic and community leaders from the NT and beyond will gather in Darwin to create a new narrative for regional music-making. As a part of the Regional and Remote Music Summit festivities, Live Nation are partnering to host their iconic ‘Ones To Watch, Backed by Vodafone’ event, with a lineup featuring up-and-coming wavemakers Yung Milla, J-Milla, and Juran. The Summit Program will present research, panel sessions, case studies, keynotes and workshops that respond to number of broad themes, including: Place, Storytelling, and Culture; Regional and Remote Live Music and Festivals; Adapting to the Climate Crisis; Understanding Audiences; The Importance of Safe Spaces; Skills Gaps and Building Capacity; and Policy and Investment. Some highlight events across the three days will include, of course, ‘Ones To Watch’, as well as a Keynote and Q&A with the legendary Michael Chugg, a pioneer of the Australian music industry and a true legend, renowned both locally and internationally as one of the country’s most prominent music promoters. Other incredible discussions, stories and Q&As will bring together the brightest minds in the industry, including Leah Flanagan, Sosefina Fuamoli, Kate Duncan, Mitch Wilson, Lachlan Macara, Kirsty Rivers, Mark Smith, Dr Christen Cornell, Kate Berry, Catherine Satour, Dr Ben Green, Shaun Adams, and Stu Watters, will all take place in Darwin this August.
