When you’re touring remote Australia, is DIY the only way to survive? How can we make this kind of touring more sustainable and bring music to more communities? This session explores grassroots, artist-led, and community-oriented approaches to touring — where, in the absence of traditional industry support, artists often partner with local communities to make it happen. We’ll unpack what it really takes to keep this work going.
