The concert marks Miley Cyrus’ first time performing in Australia since her ‘Bangerz’ tour in 2013, while Lil Nas X has never played a show here before.
Proceeds from ticket sales will go to a selection of various bushfire relief charities, including the WWF’s Australian Wildlife and Nature Recovery Fund as well as the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal.
News of this event comes just a week after Fire Fight Australia took place in Sydney, which was headlined by Queen, Olivia Newton-John, John Farnham and more. The event, which saw 75,000 people sell out Sydney’s ANZ Stadium, has so far raised over $9.5 million towards bushfire relief.
Additionally, Fire Fight Australia also saw Queen, with the help of Adam Lambert, play their renowned Live Aid setlist for the first time since 1985.
Tickets for the ‘World Tour Bushfire Relief Charity Concert’ are on sale from 2pm AEDT Tuesday 25th February and are available via Ticketek.
