Live Music Locator is a free new service that allows users to find live music gigs playing at venues in their area at any time. The program recently launched a pilot as part of a partnership with the City of Yarra in Melbourne and the Leaps and Bounds Festival (25-28 July).

Founders Nick Thorpe and Martin Paten say the Live Music Locator is designed to help small to medium live music venues in Australia through tackling the issue of low discoverability around what’s on.
