CHANGES 2019 would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin nation who are the traditional custodians of the land on which CHANGES Summit and Showcases will take place.

A collaboration between The Push Inc, Yarra City Council, Music Victoria, VMDO, APRA AMCOS and the Victorian music community – over two days, CHANGES will spark discussions and interrogate the current state of the international music industry across the realms of MUSIC, TECH, TALKS and IDEAS.

Melbourne’s flourishing music community takes centre stage across CHANGES’ live music program. This year, we’re training our focus on the heart of Fitzroy and again inviting curatorial partners to design showcases at neighbouring venues that border Johnston and Brunswick streets. On the evenings of 3 and 4 July, explore beloved local venues, including Laundry Bar, Evelyn Hotel, The Old Bar, Bar Open, The Night Cat, The Labour In Vain, The Shady Lady, The Stone Hotel, The Fitz and Perseverance Bar.

CHANGES can reveal 123 Agency, ANTI FADE records, Bad Apples Music, Barely Dressed, Chapter Music, Collective Artists, Dot Dash, Future Popes, Foreign Brothers + Soul Has No Tempo, Milk Records, Music In Exile, New World Artists, Our Golden Friend, PS Music Group, RICE IS NICE, Roolette Records, PBS 106.7FM Melbourne + Triple R - 3RRR 102.7FM, Select Music Spirit Level and Still Here as its 2019 live music showcase curators. These creative local labels, agencies and music organisations will hand-pick artists that best represent what the city sounds like now, and what the future has in store.

Additionally, this year, tastemakers and groundbreakers from Brazil will bring ideas and game-changing conversations to CHANGES as part of the Music Passport program.

MUSIC, TECH, TALK and IDEAS all come together under one umbrella: CHANGES. Two days: July 3 and 4, at Abbotsford Convent. Program announced June 3rd. CHANGES 2019 Summit and Live Music Showcase Passes are on sale now at https://changes.melbourne/.
