Organisers of a seaside dry season festival are planning to shift their event online, amid the events industry shutdown triggered by COVID-19.

livestreaming of festival Isol-Aid to help combat the more than $300 million in income lost by musicians during Australia's coronavirus shutdown.

"We're giving the artists a chance to get their talents out there still … and bringing it to people at home who might be in isolation," Mr Dub said. "It'll be just like Nightcliff Seabreeze is normally — it gives a sense of togetherness, community … and maybe a bit of a light in the darkness."Mr Dub said the logistical arrangements for a virtual Nightcliff Seabreeze Festival were still a work in progress, particularly with frequent updates to federal and NT restrictions.

Among these artists is the Garrangali Band from the remote Arnhem Land community of Baniyala, which has been under strict COVID-19 travel and quarantine restrictions. Keyboardist Brendan Marika said the festival's move to an online platform meant bands like his could"still get a message across", while protecting their wellbeing."[An online event is] not the same … it's not like you can have the crowd there cheering you on, and enjoying, dancing — but the main thing is getting that message across, and this is finding a way.
