Purchase Sound Relief DVDs and support communities to prepare for disasters
From Coldplay to Hunters and Collectors, Kings of Leon to Kylie Minogue, the Sound Relief 4 DVD set showcases international and local talent in a celebration of music and the power of humanity.
Following the Victorian bushfires and Queensland floods in February, the Australian music community, along with some of the world's biggest musical names, banded together for Sound Relief benefit concerts in support of those affected by these tragedies. Raising over $8 million, the event itself became the biggest concert in Australian music history.
