With so many lives lost, countless homes destroyed, an estimated one billion animals killed and around 11 million hectares of Australia's pristine bushland razed, a spectacular lineup of artists will perform for Fire Fight Australia to raise money for national bushfire relief.
Fire Fight Australia (#FireFightAustralia) will see ANZ Stadium play host to international and local music icons as they unite to share one stage for Australia during its time of need. It will be hosted by writer, actor and comedian Celeste Barber, who has already raised more than $50 million towards bushfire relief through her own record-breaking online appeal.
Global rock legends Queen + Adam Lambert will take a short break from their Australian 'The Rhapsody Tour' to grace the stage in Sydney for a second time in the wake of their sold out ANZ Stadium performance the night before to perform a special set. Grammy Award-winning Canadian singer songwriter k.d. lang will play two songs including her stunning rendition of 'Hallelujah', the Leonard Cohen classic. Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer Alice Cooper is also set to appear along with a cavalcade of Australian music industry heavy weights (in alphabetical order): Amy Shark, Baker Boy, Conrad Sewell, Daryl Braithwaite, Delta Goodrem, Grinspoon, Guy Sebastian, Hilltop Hoods, Icehouse, Illy, Jessica Mauboy, John Farnham, Lee Kernaghan, Olivia Newton-John, Peking Duk, Pete Murray, Tina Arena and William Barton. Many more acts will be announced soon.
Collectively, this all-star list of performers has sold half a billion records. The 9+ hour concert offers revellers a unique opportunity to witness some of the most influential and successful songwriters of all time, all on the one stage and in the name of national bushfire relief.
Generating an unprecedented national interest, Fire Fight Australia have fans from all corners of the country securing tickets in a true sign of solidarity and support for the bush fire relief. In fact, an astonishing 65,000+ tickets have already been sold in just under 5 hours. There are now limited tickets remaining for the concert via Ticketek and the promoters are now working with the venue to release as many tickets as possible to drive total sales well over 70,000.
