YO Events will start back on March 4th 2025

YO Events is a fun-loving team of young people creating live music, skate, and entertainment events across Bendigo - for young people, by young people. Former members have gone on to work on international music tours and festivals across the globe! The team meets once a week after school hours to work on producing professional events and provide training in all aspects of event production. Joining the YO Events team gives you real-world experience in event production on high-profile events, social and networking opportunities, technical skills, mentorships, personalized professional development, and more!

What do we do?
The YO Events team does all aspects of event planning and management, including:

  • Planning and logistics
  • Booking artists
  • Budgeting
  • Promotion and marketing
  • Stage / backstage management
  • Sound production and management
  • And more!

If you are aged 12 - 24, want to work in the music and entertainment industry, and gain new skills in event management and production, YO Events is for you!
