“We’re stoked to be bringing The Push All-Ages Tour back across regional Victoria in 2024. We know there are limited opportunities for young artists to perform across regional areas, which is why The Push All-Ages Tour provides such an important platform for young artists to connect with a new generation of young live music audiences, right in their hometowns!”
