Welcome to Music in the ACT

This site is dedicated to linking the Australian Capital Territory's musicians, venues and businesses plus listing helpful music industry sites to assist in artist and business development. Our aim is to encourage growth in the music community of our territory and offer a one-stop location for all music industry needs.

We have contacted several bands/artists, venues and businesses and built directories in each category which can be accessed from the top menu bar. There is also a forum where our music community can get together and network. Last but not least, check out our regularly updated gig guide.
