Sonic Masala Fest: Bushfires, Rack Off!

Overview

Usually, Sonic Masala rolls around in the second half of the year, filling Club Greenslopes with local bands for a huge — and hugely affordable — day-long music festival. But little about 2020 has proceeded as usual so far, especially with bushfires ravaging the country. So, come March, the event's powers-that-be are putting on an early gig to raise money for disaster relief.

Sonic Masala Fest: Bushfires, Rack Off! takes place from 11am on Saturday, March 7, once again combining everything that a 4ZZZ-presented music festival at a bowls club should: bowls (obviously), Brissie bands (of course) and brews (naturally). And, it's bringing a packed lineup, all for the entry price of $25, with The Double Happiness, Majestic Horses, Flangipanis, Melaleuca, Minor Premiers, Relay Tapes, The Cutaways, McKisko, Spirit Bunny, A Country Practice, Marville and  Tape/Off among the acts on on the bill.

Once 53 tickets have been sold and the event has recouped its running costs, every single cent will be donated to the Australian Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. Young Henrys is supplying brews, with all proceeds going to the same worthy cause. And, every band has pledged its performance fees and their riders to the fundraiser as well.
