In the lead-up to the state going to the polls tomorrow, the group has been releasing information on different parties' festival friendliness.

A spokesperson said that, while 14 other events had been "deemed high risk", there could be repercussions for other music events, such as Day With the Devils in Gunnedah and Tamworth Country Music Festival, for example.

It said the industry put $600 million in the state economy, plus: employment opportunities for largely young people; tourism; a boost to small business; "and - less quantifiable but of high importance - this state's culture".

The spokesperson said the group was "not giving direct advice on how to vote, as the issues facing voters this election are complex".

"There are some great resources out there which we have linked people into, including the Music NSW report card so they can compare music policies."

One key point of contention is the new music festival licensing scheme, which came in on March 1, for specified music events including the Laneway, FOMO and Defqon.1 festivals.

"The powers granted to the authority [Independent Liquor & Gaming Authority] are broad-reaching and discretionary," the spokesperson said.

"While only 14 festivals have been deemed high-risk at the moment, the amendments to the act and resulting new regulations mean that Liquor & Gaming have the power to add or remove from this list without a clear guiding policy as to their justification."

However, Minister for Racing Paul Toole said in February high-risk festivals were those where there had been, or was a significant risk of, serious drug-related illness or death and, apart from the 14, no other festival would be affected by the new licensing scheme.

The MusicNSW report card covers 12 points, such as: the party's commitment to music funding; its willingness to appoint a Minister for Music; and its plan to reinvigorate "nighttime economies".
