A report released by American Express has revealed that over three-quarters of Australians will travel in 2025. Despite nationwide concerns about the pressure facing major music festivals, nearly half of the 1000 respondents said they were travelling because of an entertainment event. 

Corrine Ng, Vice President and General Manager of American Express Travel and Lifestyle Services, says, “As many Aussies prioritise experiences, live events are becoming the ultimate excuse to explore new destinations and celebrate passions to make lasting memories.”
