Support Australian Artists: Help Amplify Their Music Today!

## The Current State of the Australian Music Industry

The Australian music scene is navigating some challenging waters. After enduring the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought the industry to a halt, local artists are now grappling with escalating costs, cumbersome regulations, and red tape.

### Festivals in Jeopardy

In 2025, iconic festivals such as Splendour in the Grass and Groovin the Moo have been canceled, leaving their futures uncertain. Despite this setback, there are still glimpses of hope.

### Chart Dominance by International Artists

International stars continue to dominate the ARIA charts. A notable instance includes Taylor Swift’s recent album, *The Life of a Showgirl*, which made headlines by occupying all top 12 spots on the Singles Chart soon after its release.

### A Path Forward: The AUSIFY Campaign

Hope is not lost. Music enthusiasts can actively participate in the AUSIFY campaign, which aligns with Ausmusic Month. This initiative encourages fans to discover, listen to, and promote their favorite homegrown talents.

By crafting unique #Ausify playlists, music lovers can spotlight both established and up-and-coming artists, thereby influencing streaming algorithms in favor of local music.

### Community Support for Local Artists

The principle is straightforward: by raising awareness about Australian acts, more fans will seek out live performances, purchase merchandise, and advocate for local music. This campaign presents a chance for anyone passionate about Australian music to contribute meaningfully.

### Support from Notable Australian Artists

Numerous renowned artists back the AUSIFY movement, including legendary acts like Midnight Oil, Missy Higgins, and The Presets, alongside rising stars such as Keli Holiday and Ninajirachji.
