In case you missed it, last week we announced that we were joining forces with the team behind iconic Newstead live-music institution The Triffid to support From Brissy, With Love – A Fire Relief Benefit. While the concert component of the event sold out in record time, there are plenty of reasons to come along in the early afternoon. There's live music, mouthwatering bites and more, plus we've assembled a collection of seriously phenomenal prizes for the event's charity raffle – we're talking the kind of haul that'll have you digging deep for a good cause.


On Sunday January 19, The Triffid will play host to some of Australia’s finest musicians for a concert raising funds for bushfire-relief initiatives across the country. The announcement of the line-up, which features Alex the AstronautThelma PlumKira PuruThe Grates and Tia Gostelow – caused quite a stir, with tickets to the evening’s show snatched up within days. If you didn’t snag a ticket for yourself, don’t fret! The day includes plenty more fun for you to enjoy, as well as other ways to donate to the fire-relief cause. All are welcome to hit up The Triffid’s beer garden from 2:00 pm to enjoy the sounds of Mojo Webb, and from 3:00–6:00 pm you’ll be able to chow down at our charity barbecue, with the team behind Ben O’Donoghue’s Billykart and Bender’s Bar manning the grill. The Mexican-inspired hot dog menu will boast three options to choose from (including carnivorous and vegan-friendly options), with all profits going towards the fundraising efforts.

The Weekend Edition and The Triffid have called upon their pals from Brisbane and the Gold Coast to assemble a treasure trove of prizes for the event’s fundraising raffle. Throughout the afternoon, we’ll be giving away these covetable prizes to some very lucky winners, including:
