Applications are open for the Live on View program offering emerging contemporary musicians and bands the opportunity to perform at the iconic Engine Room on View Street.
The City of Greater Bendigo program is open to individual musicians and bands living, working, or studying primarily in the region. This is the first round of Live on View performances for 2026.
The City will provide the venue, staffing, ticketing, and marketing support for live performances at this iconic location in the heart of the city centre.
Successful performers will receive revenue from ticket sales. Each event will feature two 45-minute sessions, either by one act or split between two acts.
Live on View covers one day of venue access (up to 8 hours including performance), a multi-skilled technician, pre-event consultation with BV&E staff, audio setup, standard lighting rig, projector and screen, and ticketing via gotix ($10 per ticket).
Manager Bendigo Venues & Events (BV&E) Julie Amos said the program continues to be a great way for emerging musicians to finesse their performances on stage.
“Live on View has proved successful since its launch last year and we know from feedback from emerging talent that the unique program helps them to get gig ready and they love playing at the Engine Room to a wider live audience,” Ms Amos said.
“BV&E will look after everything needed to host a professional gig, and the musicians will receive revenue from all ticket sales.
“Tickets are $10 each so residents and visitors can experience and support live performances from a range of local artists playing different genres in contemporary music.”
Live on View applications are open until Monday February 9, 2026.
