Have your say about this plan to help grow and nurture Newcastle's live music scene over the next four years, and the associated economic benefits to the city.
The Live Music Strategy 2019-2023 sets out a number of key targets to achieve a safe, sustainable live music scene following consultation with key stakeholders, the community and music professionals.
It includes a range of multi-agency actions to support the live music sector, incubate and develop emerging young talent and promote Newcastle as a live music destination.
We continue to foster new local talent, venues and audiences against a backdrop of social change and urban renewal and this document, together with the After Dark Strategy, seeks to strengthen our night time economy.
While we believe that live music is a great way to promote social cohesion, public space activation and community well-being, we also want to ensure that rights of existing residents are protected.
The Live Music Strategy 2019-23 is on public exhibition until Monday, February 25, 2019.
