The Victorian government has announced $13 million in new funding to keep Melbourne's hard-hit live music venues afloat amid months of shutdowns. 9News

A first tranche of 106 venues were announced today, but hundreds more applications are still being processed."There is a sliding scale depending on a whole range of criteria," Mr Foley said.

Before the pandemic: Music fans enjoy the hard rock and heavy metal bands at the Download Festival at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne last year. The live music industry has been decimated by ongoing shutdowns. "To keep those venues going through this $9.6 million allocation, until the COVID plans can be applied and until they're safely reopening to go ahead, is at the heart of this package."
