These icons of Australian rock-n-roll will appear on stage for one performance only to support this special benefit which is part of the third annual Melbourne Music Festival.

Proceeds from the Tsunami Benefit Concert will be distributed to Plan and other charities involved in rebuilding projects in tsunami affected countries such as Sri Lanka, Indonesia and India. To ensure that maximum funds are raised, suppliers and stakeholders involved in the event are either working free of charge or at cost, or waiving fees.
