''The Greens have written to federal Arts Minister Tony Burke, urging the government to include a relief package for the live music industry in the May budget.
"Another festival biting the dust because there is not enough support from the government," Greens spokesperson for the Arts, Senator Sarah Hanson-Young, told the Senate.
She said festivals were an important part of Aussie life, as well as an important part of our economy.
"Thousands of people because of today's decision to cancel Splendour in the Grass will be out of work.
"We need the government to step in and support the music and festival industry urgently."
