OUR PARTNERS
Music Brings A-Listers, Tourism, And Local Commerce To The Gong
The Australian music scene has been declining for decades leaving our upcoming local artists with nowhere to perform, collaborate, or grow. We lose countless artists and musicians every year as they head overseas to further their careers. Songs in the GONG not only bring the industry’s best to our shores to empower local artists, but it also brings tourists to the GONG who will spend money with our local businesses. We are showcasing Wollongong to A-listers and fans alike, experiencing our beautiful town, eating at our restaurants, staying at our hotels, and sunbathing on our beaches.
