It's hoped La La La's in the heart of Wollongong will reopen as a bar from October 11 and eventually a live music venue, however, hospitality workers will need to be fully vaccinated but there's nothing concrete about whether performers will also need to be fully vaccinated.

Spokesman for the music venue Harry Phillips said December 1 was another key point for future planning as it will be when they're able to have patrons stand-up at gigs.

"[More people that are vaccinated] means we can get back to a sense of normality," Mr Phillips said.

"For us to be allowing patrons into our venue we want them to be double vaccinated and us as hospitality workers we want to be double vaccinated so for the bands to be coming in we'd also be hoping they would be double vaccinated as well."

La La La's has joined the #VaxTheIllawarra campaign along with musicians such as Lizzie Jack and Chad Steele who are pleading with those that are sitting on the fence about vaccination to just "do it" so they can get back to work sooner.

The campaign is run by volunteers who are passionate about getting life back to normal and industry back up and running, and hope to see the region reach 80 per cent vaccinated as soon as possible.

Jack, who performs as a solo artist and in a band (Lizzie Jack and the Beanstalk), said not being able to play and earn money has halted the progress she'd been making as a musician and is desperate to get behind a microphone again.

"I'm super excited for this 70 per cent and 80 per cent 'roadmap' that will hopefully see us back onstage," she said.

"We have tentatively booked some gigs in November ... the only thing is, our band members are in three different LGA's so we can't actually practice until the state hits 80 per cent [double dose of vaccinations] mark."

Steele's band The Huneez formed just before the pandemic hit and has found the last 18 months very inhibitive to the progression of hi band and his solo career.

"I think there's a lot of misinformation going around [about vaccines] and there's a lot of people who aren't sure," he said.

"But we've seen what's happened in other parts of the world, it's a weird flip here in Australia where the rest of the world has been vaccinated and opened up whereas we're a little bit behind everywhere else - Europe, America and the like.

"Looking at what's going on over there, it's evident that it's important to get vaccinated so we don't have an explosion of cases ... we want live music to continue, we want the arts to continue, we want bars and cinemas open and markets to keep chugging on, we don't want another lockdown."

As of September 30, Wollongong and Kiama LGAs were around 56 per cent double vaccinated, and Kiama LGA at 66 per cent.
