The hosts for the evening have also been announced: co-host of Today Extra David Campbell OAM, Today Show entertainment presenter Brooke Boney, and Talking In Common podcast co-host Kate Gudinski.
Mushroom has also announced that Music From The Home Front is once again partnering up with Support Act. Fans can buy event merch – either in person at the Bowl, or online – and 100% of profits will go to helping the artists, crew, and music workers.
“It couldn’t be more fitting that the first major event following the late, great Michael Gudinski’s passing is Music From The Home Front, back for its second year,” said Clive Miller, CEO Support Act. “Last year’s event was a rallying call for everyone working in live music to have hope and optimism for the future, while remembering all those who served in defence of our nation. This year the message has added poignancy and Support Act is delighted to once again be the beneficiary of proceeds, which will support our efforts to provide crisis relief and mental health and wellbeing support for music workers who are doing it tough.”
Final tickets for the live Music From The Home Front concert happening this Saturday night at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl are on sale now. Head here for info.
Fans who attend the Bowl’s live show will also see special performances from (in alphabetical order):
