Raise 'Em Up — Raising the Roof for Australian Bushfire Relief

Overview

Throwing its support behind bushfire-affected Australians, efforts to combat the ongoing blazes and recovery activities — all worthy causes close to everyone's hearts at present — The Tivoli is putting on a huge benefit gig. The aim: to raise $100,000. And, the inner-city venue has enlisted Megan Washington, Matt Corby and The Kite String Tangle to help.

All three will take to the stage at Raise 'Em Up — Raising the Roof for Australian Bushfire Relief, which'll kick off at 5pm on Saturday, January 25. They'll be joined by Asha Jefferies, Ngaiire and The Riot, with more artists to be announced. The concert will also feature a party in the car park outside, food trucks and community raffles to raise more funds.

All ticket, bar and merchandise profits from the night will be donated to two organisations, with the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal receiving 70 percent of the funds and WIRES – The NSW Wildlife Information Rescue and Emergency Services getting the other 30 percent.

Price-wise, this big party a pick-your-figure kind of affair — pay either $50, $75, $100, $150 or $200, depending on what you can afford to give. Tickets go on sale at 9am on Thursday, January 9.
