Your One-Stop Guide to Australian Live Music & Entertainment

Finding events online should be easy, but let’s be real, it’s often frustrating. With too many event sites focusing only on major cities, venues are scattered across different platforms, artists struggle to get seen without big budgets, and fans miss gigs because they didn't know they were on. That’s where ABGG comes in. Australia’s Biggest Gig Guide (ABGG) was built to solve these pain points by becoming the most comprehensive, accessible, and community-driven Australian gig guide available.

Events Near You – No Matter Where You Are From live music in Melbourne’s laneways to tribute shows in country pubs, from 80s music shows at regional festivals to comedy live in suburban breweries, we list it all.

Planning an event next week? On your birthday? ABGG has got you covered.

With people on the ground 24/7, connections with real local venues, we know the venues, have personal relations with the owners, and have often visited the venues. We can relate to what punters are needing and looking for in an event. Because of this, ABGG can leverage on their relationships with venues to put out special offers for punters, making a night out more affordable in a world where living expenses are sky rocketing.

How does ABGG compare to other gig guides?

ABGG covers both cities and regional areas. Local venues get some reach and are not overtaken by big stadium events.

ABGG focuses solely on live entertainment. We believe in bringing back live gigs and music to the Australian scene, especially after Covid, this space was shattered. We are slowly helping to rebuild this live event-going community, bettering the social lives of our people and create a buzz for Aussie businesses.

We know that venues and promoters are very busy organising event, attending to clients and patrons, so ABGG can help look after the promotion side for you.
