Late December 2010 & January 2011 saw devastating floods assault the Australian state of Queensland. During these floods, many people were forced from their homes. Tragically, over 20 people were killed (and some people were still missing at the time of writing). People throughout Australia and overseas were touched by the events and numerous appeals and fundraising events have been (and continue to be) organised to raise money for the victims.
One such event that has been organised in western Sydney is a massive 3 day event being held at the Lucky Australian Tavern at St Marys. Very Live Entertainment presents 26 metal/hard rock bands over 3 days/nights of entertainment. The event will be MCed by Insomnia Radio: Australia host Erk. Band merchandise and music may be available at the venue. Food and drink are available on site. The venue is close to trains and buses. Parking is available on site.
Below is the current list of bands – subject to change. Links to the Facebook event for each day have been included.
All proceeds will go directly to the Queensland Flood Victims appeal. Any donations are welcomed.
