Live Nation‘s ONES TO WATCH series will finish 2025 by putting the spotlight on Australian artists living with a disability.
Hosted by ELIZA HULL, and featuring MATHILDE ANNE, R.EM.EDY and COOPER SMITH, the ARTISTS WITH DISABILITY SHOWCASE will be held in Melbourne on November 26.
The event will coincide with International Day of People with Disabilities (IDPWD), which is observed on December 3.
ONES TO WATCH has been bringing a new roster of expertly curated talent to intimate venues across Australia since 2021.
Eliza says: “This is exactly what the industry needs right now – a night to celebrate. And amplify the incredible artists with disability in this country.
“I’m incredibly grateful to Live Nation for stepping in and showcasing talent that is so often underrepresented. I’m super proud of the artists I’ve curated. As a musician with a disability myself I know firsthand that there are still barriers in the industry. But moments like this give me real hope for what’s ahead.”
Michelle Lucia from Live Nation says the program helps create “real pathways for emerging talent”.
This is achieved by “opening doors, building connections, and ensuring every artist has the chance to be seen, heard and supported by the industry,” she says.
“Collaborating with Eliza on this showcase to elevate these voices, reinforces our shared commitment to championing inclusivity across the industry. t’s a proud moment to celebrate the incredible talent of these artists in the lead-up to the International Day of People with Disability.”
