BMI Live Events

BMI Live Events are proudly supported by Revive Live
an Australian Government initiative
This program is dedicated to supporting live music events and revitalizing local arts communities across Australia.

Revive Live is an initiative aimed at breathing new life into the live performance sector, fostering connections between artists, audiences, and venues. By encouraging the return of live music, the program not only enriches cultural experiences but also bolsters the economic and social vitality of regional communities like Ballarat.

Through our association with Revive Live, the BMI has been able to curate a series of dynamic live music events, showcasing talented artists and creating memorable experiences for our community. These events serve to:

  • Support local and touring artists: Providing a platform for performers to share their craft and connect with new audiences.
  • Boost Ballarat’s cultural scene: Reinforcing the city’s reputation as a hub for arts and creativity.
  • Strengthen the local economy: Drawing audiences to the area, benefiting surrounding businesses such as cafes, restaurants, and retail.
  • Enhance community connections: Offering opportunities for residents and visitors to come together and celebrate live music in a historic and welcoming space.

By hosting these events, the BMI is proud to contribute to the cultural vibrancy of Ballarat while honoring our mission as a cornerstone of arts and education in the region.

We invite everyone to join us at these exciting events and experience the transformative power of live music. Together, let’s celebrate the revival of live performance and its lasting impact on our community!’
