‘Live’ calendar

Ararat Live organisers are working on a new events calendar to coincide with the easing of COVID-19 restrictions.

The not-for-profit music collective hosts original musicians from throughout Australia and overseas.

Social-distancing rules and bans on public gatherings, designed to curb the spread of the coronavirus, have all but decimated the live music industry.

Ararat Live usually runs gigs at least once a month.

Organiser David Nicholson thanked the Ararat Live community for its ongoing support and encouragement during trying times.

“It seemed pointless making any announcements until a clearer picture of how and when the COVID-19 restrictions would be lifted,” he said.

“Now that there’s some sort of plan in place we will discuss all possibilities with the venue and the artists and get an outline and updated calendar out ASAP.”
