The announcement follows this week\u2019s unveiling of the line-up for the Play On Victoria concert at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Saturday, October 30.<\/p>\n
Like the Melbourne event, the regional gigs will trial the return of live music in a COVIDSafe way.<\/p>\n
Play On events will support Victorian artists who have been unable to perform during the pandemic and help regional music venues that have also been affected, providing a major boost to eight regional cities and towns.<\/p>\n
Fans attending the concert will be asked to show they are fully vaccinated with a COVID-19 digital certificate displayed through the Service Victoria app. Victorians can add their COVID-19 digital certificate to the Service Victoria app through MyGov or the Express Medicare Plus App.<\/p>\n
Proof of vaccination can also be shown through the Medicareapp or equivalent smartphone wallet. They can also present a printed version of their certificate or immunisation history statement or provide evidence of a valid exemption.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese outdoor gigs will showcase many of regional Victoria\u2019s best musicians and beloved venues \u2013 and will be a vital step in bringing live music back to our state and getting the industry back on its feet,\u201d Minster for Creative Industries Danny Pearson said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re making sure we have the best technology in place to get our great local events up and going again and make them run as smoothly as possible.\u201d
\nMinister for Regional Development Mary-Anne Thomas said the all-regional line up was a celebration of the amazing talent across Victoria.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese incredible artists will light up outdoor stages at some of our favourite regional venues and give us a taste of exciting times ahead.<\/p>\n
\u201cI encourage music fans across Victoria to get involved and support the safe return of live music.\u201d<\/p>\n
