“We need to encourage people to stay interested in arts and culture, rather than scare them off by saying it’s falling apart.”
In a time of uncertainty for Australia’s live music industry, Dave Sleswick is determined not to get caught up in negativity.
For Sleswick, that means delivering unique experiences to increasingly discerning audiences, while showcasing parts of the industry that are still thriving. Running from late May to July, Open Season’s 2024 lineup is stacked with well-known and undiscovered local and international acts, with a broad mix of musical tastes in mind.“We like to think of the style of the program as something that’s a little bit … edgy and contemporary, and socially relevant,” Sleswick said.
“There’s a sense of encouragement for adventure … to provide opportunities for Brisbane audiences to see something that they might not necessarily stumble upon.”The program includes Texas quartet Explosions in the Sky, Brisbane rock legends Regurgitator, alternative rock band Blonde Redhead and New Zealand singer-songwriter Marlon Williams.
