Event Details

Roady4Roadies takes place nationally in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane & Perth on Sun 10th March and Adelaide on Sun 24th March and is open to the public and industry alike. All profit goes to Support Act.

Roadies are amongst the most essential figures in the entertainment world. The reality is, no roadies = no show. As Jimmy Barnes says of roadies - "The show has to happen and they'll do whatever it takes for that to happen."

An Entertainment Assist study, conducted by Victoria University in 2015, revealed shocking rates of mental health problems within the entertainment industry. Figures showed the rate of attempted suicide in the industry is more than double the rest of the population. Scarily, it also found road crew members considered taking their own lives nearly nine times more than the general population.

The aim of Roady4Roadies is to bring public awareness to the diverse range of highly technical and creative skills required to make our dreams to come true, and raise desperately needed funds to help those in crisis.

The lineup at The Palais Theatre is as follows: Mark Seymour, Dave Graney & the mistLY, J.R. Reyne, Sisters Doll & Jarosite. Doors open at 12.30pm, with show starting at 12.40pm and running through to 3.20pm.

 Roady4Roadies is being staged by a voluntary team of Australia's leading live production personnel and industry professionals. All proceeds go directly to Support Act.
