Iconic Music Retailer Dawsons Launches in Australia with Curated Online Experience
MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA; 23 JULY, 2025 – Dawsons (dawsonsmusic.com.au), a house of music and expression, has officially launched its online store in Australia. This marks the next step in the brand’s expansion as part of Vista Musical Instruments, following its return to the UK market in 2023.
Founded in England in 1898, Dawsons has long been a trusted destination for musicians and fans. After re-establishing its presence in London with a store on Denmark Street and an online store, the brand now enters the Australian market with a tailored e-commerce experience built for local musicians, artists, and music fans.
“Australia has one of the most passionate and creative music communities in the world. We are beyond excited to join that energy and support artists at every level. Whether you’re picking up your first instrument or producing your next record, Dawsons is here to be part of your journey,” said David Nam Le, Managing Director at Vista Musical Instruments.
At launch, Australian customers can shop a curated lineup of global brands including MONO, Heritage Guitars, Harmony, Behringer, and TC Electronic, as well as used and vintage guitars in partnership with pre-loved musical instrument specialist, Well Played Gear. More brands and categories will be added in the coming months. Every order comes with fast, free delivery on orders over $100, easy 30-day returns, and friendly customer support from a team that knows musicians. The Australia operation is backed by a dedicated support team, with a local service location in Melbourne to deliver the full Dawsons experience to musicians nationwide.
With a commitment to fostering creativity and accessibility, Dawsons is also extending a 10% off Music Education Discount for full-time students and music educators.
