VROOM
VROOM is a major resource for musicians and the live music sector. Currently in its test phase, VROOM beta is an extensive searchable database and website that contains venue information including production, facilities and contact details.
Regional touring has been a key issue for the music and performing arts industries for many years. While there is funding available for local touring through programs like the Performing Arts Touring Program (NSW Ministry), Contemporary Music Touring Program (DCITA), and the Music Board (Australia Council), there is a significant resource gap. VROOM exists to bridge that gap.
Taking music touring to the next stage, VROOM is the first national support network of Live Music leading the touring revolution. With well over 1000 venues listed on the VROOM website, you can research and plan tours by region, capacity, genre, venue type and more. With fact sheets, contacts, forums and industry info, VROOM aims to help artists, bookers and managers to get their careers on the road.
