The transtasman bubble announcement is music to the ears of promoters and local venues, who are eager to see acts head both ways across the ditch.
From April 19, bands and artists won't have to stay in managed isolation or pay fees if they're planning to tour, which Meow Label and Venue director Damian Jones said would be saving a six-piece band up to $18,000 - something many acts wouldn't get back from touring.
