The Reclink Community Cup is back and promises another great day of community, music, and of course footy as the Megahertz (community radio PBS 106.7FM and Triple R 102.7FM) take on the Rockdogs (musos).
"Both stations look forward to the community cup, where we team up to raise much needed funds for Reclink, while taking on our arch rivals the Rockdogs. It's a fun day for a good cause!"
Dave Houchin RRR General Manager and Adrian Basso PBS General Manager
Kicking off on Sunday June 23, the Cup brings out the music-mad to brave the winter chills for a day of good vibes, footy and music.
This year's musical line-up is stellar collection of Australia's best live acts. Dan Sultan and special guest Paul Kelly will perform an unforgettable set, along with alt-rock legends Magic Dirt, hip-hop artist Baker Boy, funk synthesist Harvey Sutherland, post-punk four piece RVG, with the kids covered by Burnt Sausages.
This year's theme 'From Little Things Big Things Grow' ties in perfectly with the classic hit song of the same name by the legendary songwriter/musicians, Paul Kelly and Kev Karmody.
“We are thrilled to have such talented and aspirational musicians performing at the 25th Melbourne Reclink Community Cup, what better way to celebrate and commemorate 25 years of community footy and live music than with such incredible talent?”
John Ballis Reclink Community Cup CEO
