Kings of Leon, Coldplay & More to Perform At Bushfire Charity Concerts

24 February 2009

In aid of the current Victorian Bushfire Crisis, the international music industry are banding together to put on two massive benefit concerts!

Simultaneous 'Sound Relief' concerts will be held in both Melbourne and Sydney with all proceeds donated to charity. According to the press release, 100 percent of Melbourne profits and 50 percent of Sydney profits will be donated to the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal, with Sydney's other 50 percent going to the Disaster Relief Fund Appeal in Queensland to aid the flood victims.
