LIVE MUSIC INDUSTRY MASTERCLASS
Superannuation Masterclass for the Live Music Industry
Clear answers for musicians, band leaders, venues, agents and promoters.
Tuesday 11 August 2026
6:00pm–8:00pm
Doors open at 6:00pm
Rosemount Hotel
459 Fitzgerald Street, North Perth WA 6006
Ask ten people in live music who owes super on a gig and you are likely to get ten different answers.
Venues are not sure when they owe it. Band leaders are not sure what they owe the players they pay. Agents and promoters are stuck in the middle. Musicians just want to know if anything is going into their fund at all. This two-hour masterclass clears it up. Plain English, no accountant speak, and plenty of time for your questions.
When super is payable: When super applies to live music work—and when it does not.
Employee, contractor or ABN? Why having an ABN does not settle the question, and where the industry commonly gets it wrong.
Venues and promoters: What you need to have in place when engaging and paying performers.
Band leaders and players: What band leaders may owe the musicians they pay, without drowning in admin.
Records and paperwork: Record keeping, payslips and documentation that stands up at tax time.
Making it manageable: The tools that can automate the process and reduce the administrative workload.
Who it is for: Musicians, band leaders, venue owners and managers, bookers, agents, promoters, and anyone paying or being paid for live music.
