Some big names in music teamed up on Saturday, March 14 to play two Sound Relief festivals in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia. The festivals were held to raise money for victims of the February Victorian bushfires, which killed over 200 people, and left approximately 7,500 homeless.

The Sydney show was held at Sydney Cricket Ground, and attracted more than 50,000 people, despite heavy rainfall throughout the day. The concert was headlined by international acts such as Coldplay and Barry Gibb from the Bee Gees, and featured some of Australia’s most successful artists, including Wolfmother, The Presets, Marcia Hines, and Eskimo Joe.

The Melbourne show was held at Melbourne Cricket Ground, and attracted 73,000 people. The line-up featured Kings of Leon, Jet, Jack Johnson, Midnight Oil, and eight- time ARIA award winner Gabriella Cilmi, who at 17 was the youngest performer of the day. Wolfmother traveled from Sydney in time to also appear at the Melbourne show.

The event raised over AU$7.5 million (US$4.8 million) between ticket and merchandise sales, and donations. The proceeds from the Melbourne show were donated entirely to help the bushfire victims, while the Sydney profits were split 50/50 between bushfire victims, and the victims of the Queensland floods.
