The War on Music
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The War on Music (also known as "The War on Festivals") is a phrase coined by Australian media to refer to the implementation of new laws by the New South Wales (NSW) Government with regard to the use of illicit drugs at concerts and music festivals.[1] These proposed legislative changes come in response to a number of drug-related incidents occurring within Australian festivals.[2] In response to these changes, NSW state politics has become divided on what actions are in the best interest of the state. With both support and opposition to the proposed laws, there is uncertainty as to what will happen to the future of Australia's music festival industry.
