NZ Music Commission Hui
An online hui that explores ‘The New Normal’ for gigs. This session is focused on building in a Plan B option if shows aren’t able to proceed due to gathering restrictions in the future. Specifically, can your shows go ahead in a digital environment? How can you best make that work? Can you add merch to your online event?
Additionally we will ask if people should stream shows from live music venues, adding an audience at late notice, and how quickly public ticketing and marketing can be turned around.
