Tickets only went on sale last week, but now Splendour in the Grass has been cancelled for 2024.

It's just the latest in a long list of local music festivals that have been canned over the last 12 months. So can the Australian festival industry survive much longer or is this the end?

Also, a politician's made wild allegations in parliament that the Melbourne Demons AFL team is secretly drug testing its players and then encouraging those who test positive to cocaine to fake injuries so they don't end up on the field on game day.

Guests:

Kita Alexander, singer/songwriter
Paddy Macrae & Zane Harris, The Dreggs, folk pop duo
Mitch Wilson, managing director, Australian Festival Association
Dr Sam Whiting, live music industry expert, University of South Australia
