During March and April venues big and small will be revived with hundreds of concerts for Great Southern Nights, with an array of genres from emerging acts and tribute bands through to seasoned performers like Ball Park Music, Confidence Man, Illy, Kate Ceberano, Marcia Hines, Montaigne Sheppard and The Jungle Giants.
Some of the local musicians spreading their love during the program are Bec Sandridge, Pirra, The Vanns, Totally Unicorn and Corey Legge.
Larger drawcards booked for the coast include Missy Higgins, Jessica Mauboy and James Reyne at Anita's Theatre Thirroul; Baker Boy, Polish Club and Sneaky Sound System at the University of Wollongong; plus Meg Mac at Milton Theatre.
The series is a state government initiative to help the tourism and entertainment industry get back on its feet, with the program brought together with the help of Destination NSW and the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).
This will create jobs for artists and crew, revenue for venues.
- MP Stuart Ayres
"The live music scene makes a significant contribution to our social and economic wellbeing," said Stuart Ayres, Minister for both Tourism and sport, plus Enterprise, Investment and Trade.
"This will create jobs for artists and crew, revenue for venues and drive visitation to large parts of regional NSW that have done it tough over the past few years."
Concerts are spread far and wide across NSW with a feature to plan a road trip on the event website.
It's the second instalment for the initiative which originally saw more than 1000 gigs in November of 2020.
The Great Southern Nights series runs from March 18 to April 10, 2022.
