Live music is the heartbeat of our cities and towns. Your Choice is a music industry supported initiative, created to address the growing cultural issues and harmful behaviour within our landscape, affecting the rhythm.
We’re starting a conversation around personal and collective responsibilities, addressing actions that impact the overall experience of patrons.
It’s time for change, it’s time to engage. You have a role as do we; your choice becomes our story.
We all have the right to a good time, but not at the expense of others. Music should be a safe space. Physical and verbal assaults (ranging in severity) are all too common, impacting the individual and collective audience experience. We’re asking everyone to think about their behaviour at live gatherings and the lasting concequences it has on the people around them. Engage in the conversation, call out bad behaviour, report what you see and join us in demanding change.
Your Choice is about being culturally proactive, we don’t want to stick our heads in the sand around any of these issues and pretend they are not happening. As industry representatives, we will continue to work with the public, emergency services, community groups and government agencies to develop informed and preventative strategies rather than legislative, restrictive solutions.
On Tuesday July 18 we’re asking supporters to change their social profile pics to the Your Choice logo. Highlighting the importance of safety, respect and fostering a better, more positive culture.
