Australia Celebrates Live concert

Australia Celebrates Live is a free concert held on the lawns of Parliament House in Canberra every Australia Day eve (25 January). It features a line-up of Australian acts.

On the afternoon of the concert people arrive at the venue and settle in to have some fun with family and friends.

The concert is an after 5pm event and goes into the night. The concert includes tributes to the outgoing Australians of the Year with songs chosen by the previous Australians of the Year. This is followed by the Australian of the Year Awards ceremony.

Once the Awards ceremony is complete, the concert continues with each artist performing a full set of music.[2]
