A Message from John Shelley & The Gig Factory Team
As we head into the festive season, we’d like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
To all our amazing artists and fantastic venues – thank you so much for being part of such a brilliant year.
2025 has been the biggest year for The Gig Factory since COVID, with the agency seeing major growth, proudly servicing over 3,500 separate events across pubs, clubs, private functions, corporate and brand events. After the challenges of recent years, it’s been incredibly rewarding to see the live music industry not only recover, but thrive.
The growth we’ve experienced over the past few years has seen The Gig Factory recognised as one of the leading live music agencies on the east coast of Australia – and what excites us most is what’s ahead.
2026 is shaping up to be a huge year, with major expansion already underway to further service our growing number of artists and venues across the country. We’ve welcomed several new agents to the team, expanded our marketing and accounts departments, and are now booking into more regions across QLD, NSW and the ACT.
Please note that our office will be closed from today through to Monday 12 January.

On behalf of myself and the entire Gig Factory team, thank you for your trust, your talent, and your ongoing support. We’re incredibly excited about the year ahead and look forward to working with you again in 2026.
– John Shelley, Senior Agent & The Gig Factory Team
