Apollo World Touring, TEG Dainty and Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith's Westbrook Inc. have announced that Miley Cyrus will headline the World Tour Bushfire Relief charity concert—a one night only event to benefit Australian fire relief efforts on Friday 13th March at Lakeside Stadium in Melbourne. Joining her as special guests are country-rap star Lil Nas X, pop duo The Veronicas and DJ Seb Fontaine. The charity concert is a part of the previously announced World Tour—a new multi-genre event-series launching at the same venue, and to be headlined by Robbie Williams.
Thanks to the generous support of World Tour's global sponsor AgBioEn, proceeds from concert ticket sales will go to two Australian based nonprofits who are working to restore forests, and wildlife, as well as rebuilding communities affected by the devastating fires—WWF Australian Wildlife and Nature Recovery Fund and The Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal. The concert, which will take place alongside the Formula 1 ® Rolex Australian Grand Prix, is expected to raise millions.
World Tour recently announced a multi-year, multi-territory partnership with AgBioEn that will see the two companies collaborate to build a new model of music tour, inspiring global music fans to play their part in accelerating the transition to a climate friendly, sustainable future. The long-term objective of the AgBioEn and World Tour partnership is to use entertainment as a force for good linking fans and artists to a global platform to help make progress on solving the climate crisis, at the same time as highlighting new technological solutions that are available to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels. AgBioEn recently announced that they will invest $2 billion in a renewable fuels facility in the Goulburn Valley and is currently exploring the expansion of its operations by including a regenerative agriculture program and additional renewable fuels facility in the East Gippsland area near the fire-affected regions of Victoria.
World Tour is committed to reducing and offsetting the carbon footprint of its events. The World Tour Bushfire Relief charity concert will be offset under the Australian Government approved Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard.
Tickets go on sale Tuesday 25th February at 2pm AEDT via Ticketek.
