Be

ReSound
Music Festival is part of the City’s Live & Local program, in partnership
with the Live Music Office and APRA AMCOS.
One of
the defining features of this capacity building program for the music industry
is a unique choice of venues, offering attendees an experience like no other
and supporting new businesses to embrace live music.
Councillor
Melissa Cadwell
This year’s ReSound Music Festival serves as a testament
to the thriving music scene in the Geelong region.
These
new microfestivals will provide another platform for both emerging and
established artists to shine in two different neighbourhoods – Ocean Grove and
central Geelong.
Don’t
miss out on this exciting celebration of local music and talent.
Musician Bec Goring
Our
community is feeling the pinch due to various social, economic, and
environmental challenges and that was why we need the arts more than ever
right now.
I encourage folks in Geelong and
the Surf Coast to take a break from Netflix, leave the couch behind, give a
friend a ring, and join us at ReSound Festival.
It's free, and you'll experience a
strong sense of community with live, local music!
Tami McAdam, The
Piping Hot Chicken Shop
Local shows are important for everyone.
A free music festival
like ReSound will encourage the whole community to come out and make some
lasting memories.
Ty Simons, The Driftwood
Café
Our local musicians are just so great.
Everyone should know them and
support them.
We're really looking forward to
making Driftwood available for people to share in experiencing live
music.
The City established a Musicians & Music Industry Register last year to connect with musicians
for live music activities. Musicians and music industry professionals are
invited to sign up at geelong.link/Music-Industry-Register.
Live music
venues or local business owners can also sign up to the Live Music Venue
Register at geelong.link/Music-Venues-Register.
