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.  What we will cover    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.    Your presenters     Kylie Thompson
