A wine brand for the musically minded, Headline Acts connects people together through music via partnerships and industry initiatives for bands and the fans that support them.
Committed to supporting the emerging headliners of the future, Headline Access acts is a platform created with the intention to bolster the careers of independent Australian artists and creatives.
Kicking off the hugely successful first instalment of the Headline Access Industry Rewards Program in May 2022 was The Release Cycle, which offered one emerging artist the opportunity to gain invaluable mentorship from influential Australian music industry names.
Among the panellists included Johann Ponniah of I OH YOU Records, and Johnny Took of DMA’s, The Orchard, with the Sydney session being hosted by journalist Mikey Cahill and music writer Sose Fuamoli, while the New Zealand event sees MC SLAVE from Fat Freddy’s Drop host.
