3Introducing Amplified:
A New Live Music Experience from AIMA
The Australian Independent Music Association (AIMA) is proud to introduce Amplified — a new project designed to celebrate the passion, skill, and energy of Australia’s best tribute bands.
Amplified is about delivering the full concert experience — professional stage setups, lights, big sound, and a minimum 500-strong crowd — for a ticket price that remains accessible to music lovers.
At just $25 per ticket for AIMA members, Amplified makes it possible to enjoy outstanding live tribute performances in a true concert environment, without the high cost usually associated with major events.
The idea for Amplified came from a simple moment — watching a talented cover band perform in a small venue and thinking: “For $35, music fans deserve more.”
Amplified turns that idea into reality, giving tribute bands the production values they deserve and giving audiences the atmosphere they’ve been missing.
Join us at Amplified — where the lights are brighter, the crowds are bigger, and the music never stops.
