From Brissy, With Love — A Fire Relief Benefit
Catch The Grates, Thelma Plum and Alex the Astronaut at The Triffid's huge bushfire relief gig.
Overview
When it comes to raising money to support Australians affected by the bushfires — folks who've lost their homes, firefighters battling the blazes, other volunteers helping out, animals caught in the crisis and more — Brisbane has been going all out. Add another benefit event to your must-attend list, with The Triffid putting on a huge gig to rustle up more donations. The Newstead venue has also enlisted some impressive talent to assist.
Taking to the stage at From Brissy, With Love are The Grates, Thelma Plum, Alex the Astronaut, Kira Piru and Tia Gostelow, with comedian Mel Buttle on MC duties. It all takes place from 5pm on Sunday, January 19, with tickets costing $44.90 — and 100-percent of the profits will be donated to Fire Relief For First Nations Communities, the New South Wales Rural Fire Service, the Victorian Rural Fire Service RFS and WIRES Wildlife Rescue.
Can't make it? You can also donate via the gig by buying a 'cannot attend event donation ticket'.
Raffles on the day will raise more money — and giveaway prizes. And if you're keen on getting started early, there'll be free tunes in The Triffid's beer garden from 2pm courtesy of Mojo Webb.
