There are plenty of opportunities in Australia for International Artists. Here is a Starter Guide about the Australian Touring Gig landscape. In our country, the great distances between capital cities present challenges in terms of logistics and budget so these two figure highly in your Tour Planning.
We would need to look at your market value in Australia and price the offer accordingly. Most venues offer door deals giving you access to their networks and marketing metrics. High profile festivals offer guarantees based on your current perceived market value. To access the Festival market, 6-9 months planning in advance is preferable. With a few Festival dates in your schedule, we can program a tour around that.
Costs you may need to factor into your budget include but not limited to:
- Touring Artist Temporary Activity Visa
- Australian Publicist
- Australian Radio Plugger – to help get you traction on the local charts.
- Play MPE
- Radio Ads
- EDM for Music Publications
- Australian Music Union membership
- APRA membership as some venues require the Artist to pay the APRA fees
- Australian Public Liability Insurance
- Accommodation at some gigs pending deal
- Transport - Hire Car/Van
- Air Fares to and from Australia
- Internal Air Fares around Australia
