Well this is huge. Legendary political rockers Midnight Oil have announced a special benefit concert in support of reef protection to take place on Sunday, October 29 at The Fremantle Arts Centre, the night after their Great Circle Tour concert at Perth Arena on October 28. Called One For The Oceans it will see the band will play their historic album 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 (aka 10-1) in full.
If that’s not enough they’ll follow it with another hour of Oils classics, and every cent of profit is going towards charities that work in the areas of reef protection and climate change including AMCS.org.au. Perth indie rap outfit POW! Negro will be opening this special event.
One For The Oceans will be the first time Australian fans have had the opportunity to catch the 10-1 album played in full on a concert stage. Featuring classics such as US Forces, Power and the Passion, Read About It and Short Memory, it was originally released in 1982.
