It has been almost a week since the controversial Sydney Lock-out Laws have been lifted, where venues in the surrounding CBD precincts are now permitted to open doors to patrons after 1:30am in a bid to revitalise the city's nightlife precinct.

Reports have found that the nightlife and general music economy in the city lost revenue totalling in the billions from the pull out of crowds of bars, clubs, restaurants and business' alike.

The announcement of the reversed Lock out Laws comes as the arts and entertainment sector looks to contend with the global events surrounding the pandemic, so this is every bit of the good news needed for musicians, artists, promotors, crew and venue owners to refresh, bounce back and navigate through the changing landscape where successful live events are able to be held into the future.
