(100% of proceeds raised from tickets will be donated to two wildfire relief organisations)
Join us for a night of solidarity and fundraising in support of Australia's wildfire relief efforts with Greentea Peng, Heels & Souls, Jonny Rock, Will Heard and more!
The wildfires are not only devastating the lands, communities, livelihoods and biodiversity of Australia but are also demonstrating what a future without climate action and justice looks like. After a year of climate-caused natural disasters we want to come together through the power of music and community to show our solidarity with Australia and all those around the world who are suffering from the effects of the global ecological crisis.
All proceeds raised will go towards two wildfire relief organisations:
🚒 The Rural Fire Service - the people helping to stop the fires: www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/volunteer/support-your-local-brigade
🐾 Wires (Australias Native Animal Care Service): www.wires.org.au/
