Scott Morrison needs to intervene if music festivals and live gigs are to return, some of Australia’s biggest rock stars have warned.

In an open letter published on Wednesday, more than 3500 artists, venue owners and behind-the-scenes workers have urged the federal government to announce a support package so that the show can go on.The Avalanches are among the bands that signed the open letter.The plea was signed by stars like Bernard Fanning, Courtney Barnett, Paul Kelly and Midnight Oil.

“Sitting behind these venues and events is an army of musicians, DJs, managers, agents, promoters, crew, technicians, music teachers and many other industry professionals.”“We can’t afford to lose the skills and businesses of our industry. The result for Australian music and live entertainment would be catastrophic.”
