Platform
At Platform, we are a local female-run event management project committed to empowering independent femme artists by providing them with a platform to showcase their musical abilities.
We strongly emphasise nurturing connections and support among up-and-coming artists. Our mission is to break down the invisible barriers of competition that often hinder artistic growth, and instead, create a unified space where music performers and lovers can come together.
We aim to establish a platform that not only bridges the gap between artists but also encourages collaboration and mutual encouragement. Through our events, we strive to celebrate the talents and individuality of our artists, promoting their work to a wider audience. By offering a supportive platform, we aim to amplify the voices of emerging artists who may not have had the same opportunities for exposure in the mainstream industry.
Platform is dedicated to nurturing a community that values connections, strengthens networks, and nurtures artistic growth. By building bridges and generating relationships, we aim to create an inclusive space where independent musicians can thrive and where music lovers can discover new, authentic, and diverse sounds.
Join us at Platform as we work towards our goal of elevating independent artists and uniting musicians and music enthusiasts in a harmonious and vibrant community.

✨ Olivia Mae’s Debut EP Launch ✨
Olivia Mae is a Naarm/Melbourne-based creative whose music fuses her distinctive Aussie twang with direct lyricism and lighthearted arrangements. Raised in the Dandenong Ranges, Olivia’s early years were shaped by a curiosity for connection and storytelling, and from church to school bands, to theatrical performances, Olivia creates familiar sets for the characters within her writing so that audiences can indulge in the world of her music.
Olivia’s live performances are witty and raw, balancing her own heartbreaks with the inevitability of growth and self-discovery. Her shows are for coming of age, and “Father, forgive me” confessionals and “remember when” reminisces over the deepest of sighs and the strongest of drinks.
Join us for an exclusive, intimate afternoon with Olivia Mae as she unveils her debut EP 'FIGJAM' in a one-of-a-kind acoustic performance. This show will take place outdoors at Nobelius Heritage Park with attendees encouraged to BYO chairs/picnic rugs/food/drink, creating an unforgettable and unique experience.
With limited tickets at $20, this is a rare chance to be among the very first to hear Olivia Mae’s heartfelt songs live in their purest form.
This afternoon will also feature performances from Abbey Rose and rhoden. And for those with a sweet tooth, indulge at our special ‘Sugar’-themed bake sale, inspired by one of Olivia’s songs.
