West Australian Music (WAM) make the decision to postpone WA Music Week (which includes WAMFest, WAMCon, Scarbs Beach Party and the WAMAwards), a beloved celebration of the vibrant music scene in Western Australia. Typically held in November each year, WAM is now exploring the possibility of rescheduling the event to early 2025, although dates are yet to be confirmed. This decision, while difficult, is part of a strategic effort to ensure that WA Music Week continues to be a landmark event, reflecting the quality and innovation that our community expects. The decision to postpone WA Music Week follows recent updates regarding WAMs funding, which necessitated a review of our event timeline. We are thankful to our sponsors and partners for their continued invaluable support of WA Music Week, which allows us to strategically plan the delivery of a robust and successful event for our music community. WAM Board President Al Taylor said, “As part of a full review of the organisation and in line with the new strategy we are looking at everything afresh. And while the timing of our funding precluded WAM from delivering WA Music Week at its traditional time in November, it also provided an opportunity to pause and consider what is optimal – what will deliver the best outcome for all connected to the event. So, we are looking at the first half of 2025 and will provide updates of specific timing as soon as we can.” We encourage everyone to stay tuned for updates and to continue supp
