Hey, there. You found us.
We’re posting 2,500 copies of this little music mag across the country this year. Want one? They’re totally free for everyone. We’re cool like that.
Check out the venues and dates listed below in our national Roving Launch map to see where they’ll pop up. We’ll be rolling out dates right here as they happen, which means this page is very much alive and will be updated throughout the year.
So you can find us any time you like, we’ve placed a trusty icon on every page of CutCommon. You can click through to come back right to the map. Make sure you check back in if you have found a specific location you’re keen to rock up to!
NOTE: Venues without live events, such as universities and arts locations, will host CutCommon magazines from late-March 2019 onward, until all copies have been picked up. We’re now doing the postage rounds and they’re coming to you from Tasmania, so you can expect to see them pop up soon!
Is “TBA” next to the music event you’d like to see? This means it’s “to be announced”. The concert details might be under embargo (oooh, exclusive). Or, the musicians might be making their final event arrangements. We’ll reveal the dates as soon as we can 🙂

CutCommon is a free magazine, and we don’t make a profit. So why do we do this? We want to empower the musicians, composers, and arts administrators of Australia to have their stories shared.
If you like, you can shout us a coffee for the work we put into the mag.
No amount too much or little. Thank you for supporting this independent voice in Australian arts journalism 🙂

Our cover features Madeleine Jevons of the Penny Quartet, supplied, captured by WILK.
*Note about Affinity: We originally listed 18 March as our Affinity launch date. If you rocked up and didn’t catch the mag, it’s because we experienced an Australia Post mix-up. Fun times. We’ll be at Affinity in May to make up for the error, and look forward to seeing you then.
More Orava Quartet please, they are fantastic.
