We need more venue support: A Divine Playhouse update and MoshPit Bar closes | Music News

We start this episode with a movie review (I’m sorry, what?), before providing an update on the Diving Playhouse saga we brought you two weeks ago. The TLDR is that the lease has been terminated, with thousands turning up to Hyde Park in Sydney to protest the decision.

We then discuss what we can do to save our music venues from closing, with the news that MoshPit Bar will be closing in Sydney. It was one of just 19 venues in the state that put on 100 shows or more last year, so year, it’s a pretty devastating blow.

Its closure also raises questions over grant funding, with the venue receiving more than $150,000 in state and federal grants over the last few years, and still closing down.

We pose more questions than answers in this one, but we hope you’re along for the ride.

Also please remember to rate us five stars if you can be bothered. Thank you <3
