Australia’s rock stars will gather for the Variety Rocks show and perform for children’s charity Variety in Sydney in October.

The line-up (so far) features Angry Anderson (Rose Tattoo), Steve Balbi (Mi-Sex), Guy Delandro, Casey Donovan, Jeff Duff, Melanie Dyer, Mark Gable (Choirboys), Spencer Jones (The Voice), Steve Kilbey (The Church), Melinda Schneider, Glenn Shorrock, Alex Smith (Moving Pictures), Rai Thistlethwayte (Thirsty Merc), Mark Williams (Dragon) and John Paul Young. More acts will be added soon.

John Paul Young said in a statement, “The Variety Rocks concert combines two of my big loves, Variety the Children’s Charity and the music of Vanda and Young,” he said.

“Firstly, Variety ticks all the boxes for me because of the great work they do and the fun we have fundraising. Add to that, Vanda and Young because I’ll be performing their song “Friday on my Mind”, voted by the Australian public to be the best Australian song ever written and you have a very happy JPY.”

Funds raised will go towards providing Music Therapy for the Variety Ward at The Children’s Hospital at
Westmead which cares for kids battling serious illnesses.
