The Australian Government is giving away a “Contemporary Music Touring Grant” to applicants who gets their arses into gear and submit an application.

“They have ranged from well-known performers such as Kate Miller-Heidke to start-up bands who are cutting their teeth on the circuit.
“You don’t need a high profile to qualify for funding. It’s about capacity-building and pleasing audiences by bringing them new and exciting music.”
