WORDS BY TAMMY WALTERS

Live music lovers are spoilt for choice across the next three months.


Fellow live music lovers, we’ve missed out on way too many gigs, concerts and festivals over the last year. Now that shows are back in a big way, getting a ticket to see your favourite Australian acts is becoming a task and a half, due to the high pandemic-induced FOMO demand.

Fret not – our friends at Tixel have you sorted with last minute ticket transfers. As a dedicated ticket resale platform, Tixel ensure that no seat, or standing space, goes to waste without the added fraud experienced by other resale sites.

Here are 15 upcoming gigs and festivals with tickets up for grabs on Tixel.
