Rock for the Reef
Eat your heart out Bob Geldof, Brisbane's about to host a benefit concert like no other.
Overview
Eat your heart out Bob Geldof, Brisbane's about to host a benefit concert like no other, and it's all going towards our favourite national treasure (nope, not Bert Newton). Rock the Reef is a non-for-profit event raising money and awareness for the Great Barrier Reef, which if you didn't know, is in a whole lot of nasty, Abbott-induced trouble.
Taking place at The Brisbane Powerhouse this Saturday Rock the Reef will span over two large spaces, showing off musicians, speakers, campaign stalls and maybe a live set from Queen*. Bands kick off at 2pm, the whole evening wraps up at 11pm. The line up is a pretty impressive one, made up of Ash Grunwald, Deep Sea Arcade, the medics, Steve Smyth, Dog Trumpet, Formidable Vegetable Sound System, Bandito Folk, The Lyrical, Alesa Lajana, Resin Dogs, Jac Stone and Ben Ely and The Worriers.
Together, they might (read: might) ask a confusing rhetorical question through song with Boy George and Phil Collins fighting for lead vocals. Do the fish know it's Christmas? Probably not, but don't you think they deserve a chance to find out?
*almost definitely won't happen.
