It’s almost the most wonderful time of the year! No, not Christmas: we’re just a few weeks away from Ausmusic T-Shirt Day.
On Thursday, November 30th, Aussies will come together for the annual event that celebrates this country’s music while raising urgently-needed funds for music workers in crisis.
Before the big day, some of Australia’s finest artists are going to do their bit to support the local live music and hospitality industries as part of Carlton & United Breweries’ (CUB) LIV LOUD 2023.
LIV LOUD will bring Cool Sounds, Boy & Bear, Hockey Dad, 360, and many, many more acts to around 40 venues across the country, from WA to Victoria, Alice Springs to Geelong. Each participating venue will receive a cash grant to host live events on off-peak days throughout the month.
Additionally, CUB will donate funds directly to music charity Support Act in December to further assist their important work delivering mental health programs and more across Australia.
To celebrate what’s going to be a big month for the Australian music industry, Tone Deaf caught up with some artists on the LIV LOUD lineup to find out who they’re repping for Ausmusic T-Shirt Day! But the important question remains: what are you wearing for this year’s Ausmusic T-Shirt Day?
Tickets to LIV LOUD are available now via the official website. More information about Ausmusic T-Shirt Day can be found here.

Emma Volard
“I’m super thrilled to be a part of the LIV LOUD program for Ausmusic T-Shirt Day – what they are doing for the music industry in terms of mental health aid through Support Act, and funding is so valuable especially now while the music scene is putting itself back together.
“I’m going to be wearing my 30/70 ‘fluid motion’ long sleeve tee on Ausmusic T-Shirt Day. It’s one of my absolute favourite shirts and they’re one of my favourite collectives. The collective are full of generous, caring, and very talented artists/musicians who are paving the way in both music and social justice.”
Dave Hosking, Boy & Bear
“I’ll be wearing a Mimi Gilbert t-shirt! I’m a huge fan and went and saw her play a little while back at Low Bar in Sydney. I think she’s quite an amazing artist and can’t wait to see what she does next.”
360
“I’ll be wearing a tee by Drest, an up-and-coming artist I love that is supporting me on my regional tour. He’s dope and one that deserves heaps of attention.”
Clint Boge, The Butterfly Effect
“I bought this shirt when I went to see Northlane at The Tivoli in Brisbane last year. A great band, huge sound, and a killer stage and light show. Pyros, sparks, and CO2 cannons were the icing on the cake – if you get a chance to see them, DO IT!”
