The Southbound festival was cancelled this weekend due to the massive bush fires in the state’s south west. Some of the artists who were due to perform at the festival have volunteered their time for a charity gig that will raise money for those effected by the fires.
Performing at the gig tomorrow night will be Birds of Tokyo, San Cisco, Koi Child, Bloc Party and Disclosure.
The latest news from the organisers is the show is close to selling out, so move quickly if you want to show your support.

Our hearts go out to the local communities and families, and all of the people who are currently stuck in the South West area. Once again Sunset Events encourages everyone to stay safe, show their support and donate to this worthy cause.
A number of Southbound patrons have shown incredible generosity at this time wanting to donate their ticket refund to those affected by the fire, you can do this or donate any nominated amount, via our friends at Moshtix if you feel inclined or to a nominated bushfire relief fund (details to follow). Information on full ticket refunds will be available by Wednesday 13th January, which will include further information on how to donate through the moshtix platform.
