The Scene
Straight from the scene.
The stories around the gig, from the people booking the room to the artists finding a way onto the bill.
Across Queensland, YELO reports on the venues, promoters, artists and festivals that give a town somewhere to hear music, and what happens when that changes.
Around the music
The work behind a night out.
Before a band gets on stage, somebody has booked the room, found the support acts, made the poster and tried to get people through the door. When a venue opens or closes, those decisions reach well beyond one weekend’s gig guide.
YELO follows the people doing that work, whether they are building a night in Nambour, booking a room in Fortitude Valley or taking a show through regional Queensland.
