The COVID-19 pandemic impacted all sectors of the economy. But undoubtedly the hospitality and entertainment industries bore much of the brunt of the destruction.

The event is set to span three days, from the 9th-11th of April and will feature stars such as Jack River, Ziggy Ramo and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. And all three concerts are completely free.
