QUEENSLAND MUSIC RESOURCES
Queensland Artist Toolkit
The YELO Artist Toolkit is a practical Queensland guide to getting gigs, finding funding, applying for festivals, building releases and finding the people and places that help music happen.
Updated September 2026
It is built for independent musicians, bands, producers, promoters and other creative people doing the work without a giant team behind them.
Start here

- Festival and showcase applications: what selectors need and how to make your application easier to assess.
- Gig pay for musicians: fees, expenses, agreements and questions to ask before saying yes.

- EPK and release help: the essential material for media, radio, venues and festivals.
- Queensland music-industry services: producers, photographers, publicists, designers and other useful humans.
