Music charity Support Act’s annual fundraiser, Ausmusic T-Shirt Day, returns tomorrow (Friday 18 November) to celebrate Aussie music and raise urgently-needed funds for music workers in crisis.
Anyone can get behind the day by simply wearing their favourite Aussie music t-shirt and making a donation to Support Act at ausmusictshirtday.org.au.
Participants are also encouraged to share their Ausmusic T-Shirt love on social media using the hashtag #ausmusictshirtday and tagging Support Act, triple j and ARIA throughout the day.
This year’s campaign has the backing of some of Australia’s favourite faces, including Chris Hemsworth, Jessica Mauboy, Darren Hayes, Casey Donovan, Kylie Minogue and 26 well-known faces of Australian music, screen and stage, who have all thrown their weight behind the cause.
There’s a raft of fun activities taking place throughout the day for people to take part in with family, friends or colleagues, whether it be in person or remotely:
