The Gimme Shelter! artists are all waiving their performance fees, and have been strong advocates of the need to better support people seeking safety. Many of them have spoken out against government policies on migration and seeking asylum.

Run by a group of passionate young people since 2012, Road to Refuge is a non-profit, volunteer-run organisation dedicated to community education and engagement around refugees and people seeking asylum. The organisation facilitates school and adult workshops and runs a range of diverse community events; generating informed, constructive and inclusive conversations about refugees and people seeking safety in Australia.

Tickets are just $25.00+BF, and revellers will enjoy great entertainment while supporting the work of Road to Refuge; a non-profit, volunteer-run organisation dedicated to community education and engagement around refugees and people seeking asylum.

All ticket proceeds will go towards Road to Refuge's projects and workshops planned in 2016 to further a more inclusive and constructive dialogue towards those seeking safety.
