Council welcomes live music announcement

ALWAYS LIVE announced today that one of the country’s biggest pop stars will headline a special home-grown event on Saturday, 12 November 2022.

Alpine Shire Mayor Sarah Nicholas said the announcement is extremely exciting, and just what the community needs as they head into another busy holiday season.

“We’re very pleased to support a live music event that has a focus on the local community - and our young people in particular,” she said.

“This thrilling event will see a spectacular line up of performers join Jessica for a celebration of Australian talent.

“This is an opportunity that doesn’t come around very often – such contemporary and outstanding performers right on our doorstep is not to be missed!”

The funding for this event comes from the Victorian Government’s Response to the 2019-20 Bushfires.

It is targeted at supporting the Alpine Shire’s young people and communities to continue to revitalise after the 2019/20 bushfires and compounding impacts of COVID-19.

Cr Nicholas said this event joins the calendar of recent community-building experiences and events that Council has rolled out to communities over the past 18 months with the support of Bushfire Recovery funding.

“We have been fortunate to experience some incredible opportunities recently - such as the visit from Australian of the Year Dylan Alcott, Resilience Project presentations, pop-up roller disco and twilight cinemas,” she said.

“This music event is a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together to experience a day of great live music, connection and fun.”

Tickets will be available over the coming weeks. Visit www.alwayslive.com.au for ticket sales and more information.

This show is part of ALWAYS LIVE, a new state-wide celebration of contemporary live music supported by the Victorian Government through Visit Victoria.
