Touring Acts bring live music , to the Australian Live Music Scene .
International Touring Acts may include popular Indie Bands eg Artic Monkeys , who are booked to play Melbourne’s famous Festival Hall in February 2012.
Old time Balladeers , like Rod Stewart , are also touring around the same time , playing at a variety of venues including a winery in Macedon , and the big stage of Rod Laver Arena .
Tickets are expensive , often highly sought, but make international acts , accessible to the local market .
Local bands also go on tours of all capital cities , and some country towns around our vast continent . Exposure is given to the band , who may be promoting a new album release , and provide remote areas with access to live music .
A recent tour by Dan Sultan , popular , indigenous , Melbourne based artist , saw him visit rural Victoria .
