A collective featuring some of Australia's most popular contemporary musicians will perform at WAVEAID - a once in a generation event to generate much needed funds for the millions of people whose lives have been irreversibly impacted by the recent Tsunami disaster in Asia.

WAVEAID, a major concert event with over eight hours of music will be held at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday January 29th from 2.00pm - 10.30pm. Such an unprecedented event has sparked one of Australia's all time favourite live bands into action for the evening as MIDNIGHT OIL join in to do their bit as part of this massive Australian music fundraiser. WAVEAID will also feature live sets by POWDERFINGER, whose performance will be on the back of a sold out Hordern Pavilion and the Sydney Big Day Out as well as THE JOHN BUTLER TRIO, KASEY CHAMBERS, NICK CAVE (in intimate mode), THE WAIFS, THE FINN BROTHERS, MISSY HIGGINS, PETE MURRAY and for their first Australian performance in nearly two years SILVERCHAIR. The WAVEAID concert will also premiere THE WRIGHTS (featuring members of Jet, The Living End, Grinspoon, Powderfinger, Spiderbait, You Am I & Dallas Crane) performing Stevie Wright's classic Australian hit Evie Parts I, II and III.

Tickets are only $58.00 plus booking fee and will go on sale Monday January 17th. Ticketek are donating back all profits from booking fees and charges.

To ensure that maximum money is raised, the event organisers are engaging suppliers to either work free of charge or at cost. All those including the bands, managements, promoters and publicists involved in staging this event are donating their time free of charge.

The income expenditure analysis will be published straight after the concert on the WAVEAID web site (www.waveaid.com.au), via a press release and in print media. The net proceeds from the event will be distributed to AUSTRALIAN RED CROSS, OXFAM/COMMUNITY AID ABROAD, UNICEF, and CARE AUSTRALIA charity organizations.

Of their involvement in this event, the following artist's said today,

"We are highly motivated to join fellow Australian performers in what will be a momentous occasion. For this is clearly a time in history for everyone to pitch in and help the people who are struggling to hold on to their lives in the wake of such a shattering event. On such an occasion Midnight Oil hopes all fans will come out and make 'Waveaid' a huge fundraising success." Peter Garrett - Midnight Oil

"The tsunami is a disaster of a proportion that is hard for us to comprehend in Australia. The devastation and loss of life is horrific. Lives have to be pieced back together and a helping hand has to be out stretched immediately. This is a time to come forth and help on whatever level you can. 'Waveaid' is our opportunity to stand and be counted and we implore you to make sure you're by our side January 29th." Bernard Fanning - Powderfinger

"Obviously any person with a heart wants to do whatever they can right now to try and provide some help to all the people who are suffering. Everyone wants to do their little bit so the cricketers play cricket, the TV people do a TV show and the musicians play a gig. The fact that it's turned out to be such a big gig just shows what an undeniable cause this is. It should be a really memorable occasion." Daniel Johns - Silverchair

"If we as musicians can help bring people together, this seems the very least we can do to help our fellow human beings affected by this disaster." John Butler - The John Butler Trio We urge Sydneysiders to support this event and our fellow citizens of the world.

Garrett to rejoin Oils for aid concert

19:49 AEDT Wed Jan 12 2005

The beds will burn yet again for Midnight Oil, with Labor MP Peter Garrett reprising his role as the band's frontman for a one-off event.

Garrett will take to the stage with a who's who of Australian musicians at WaveAid, an eight-hour concert event to raise funds for victims of the Indian Ocean tsunami.

"We are highly motivated to join fellow Australian performers in what will be a momentous occasion," said Garrett, now the Labor MP for the Sydney seat of Kingsford Smith.

"For this is clearly a time in history for everyone to pitch in and help the people who are struggling to hold onto their lives in the wake of such a shattering event.

"On such an occasion, Midnight Oil hopes all fans will come out to make WaveAid a huge fundraising success."

The concert will be held at the Sydney Cricket Ground on January 29 with 11 big Australian names headlining the event.

Artists are Midnight Oil, Silverchair, Nick Cave, Powderfinger, The John Butler Trio, Kasey Chambers, The Waifs, The Finn Brothers, Missy Higgins, Pete Murray and The Wrights.

Silverchair - singer Daniel Johns, drummer Ben Gillies and bass player Chris Joannou - will also regroup for the event after taking a two-year break to pursue other projects.

"It has been two years since we finished the last tour which makes it even more special for us," Joannou said.

"We do start rehearsals soon so the pressure is on."

Organisers said an event of this size would normally cost about $3 million to put together.

But all talent, management, promotion and publicists were donating their time.

The net proceeds from the event will be distributed to charities including the Australian Red Cross, Oxfam Community Aid Abroad, Unicef and CARE Australia.

Tickets cost $58 plus a booking fee which Ticketek will donate to the charities.

With 30,000 tickets going on sale January on 17, the money raised could amount to $1.74 million.
