Last week, Tixel and Kantar , in partnership with the Association of Artist Managers - AAM Australia , released The Live Equation 2030, new research exploring the future of ticketing based on insights from more than 5,000 fans across Australia, the US and UK.

The free report, offers valuable insights into changing ticket-buying behaviours both globally and in Australia and is well worth a read for anyone working in live music.

🙏🏼 Congratulations to the Tixel team on an excellent piece of research and another great example of innovation from a thriving Victorian business.

One of the more personal additions to the High Score 2026 program is 'Legacy of the Lamb' , a session built around the creative team behind Australian hit Cult of the Lamb and its expansion, Woolhaven.

Following the death of composer River Boy during development, collaborators including musician Arrowbird and developer Jojo Zhou stepped in to finish the score while keeping his voice at the centre of it.

This discussion at Melbourne International Games Week will look back on his contribution to the game’s sound while exploring how the wider team carried the work forward together.
