ZERO SEVEN Making Poverty History

from X Press Online

This Sunday, July 1, five of Australia’s hottest acts will drive in to town as part of the Make Poverty History Zero Seven Road Trip.

Having started in Melbourne, the road trip’s Perth leg will see Borne, Bias B, Custom Kings, True Live and Bliss ‘N’ Esso take to the Metro City stage, with a high energy, thought provoking show.

The Australian Make Poverty History Coalition is part of the international alliance and comprises of more than 50 not-for-profit organisations including The Oaktree and Reach Foundations and will see hundreds of specially selected and trained young Aussies aged between 16-26 travel across the country to spread the message about eradicating poverty.

Make Poverty History Zero Seven will feature the likes of Guy Sebastian, TV Rock, Dallas Crane, Blue King Brown, Little Birdy and Evermore playing around the nation and seeks to raise awareness of extreme poverty and encourage the Australian government to increase Australia’s foreign aid contribution, whilst providing a fun and entertaining environment.

Director of the Oaktree Foundation and one of the coordinators of the event, Hugh Evans says “We want to encourage all Australians to face up to the global challenge of making poverty history.”

The team behind the massive campaign are also urging Australians to pledge their support by sending a multimedia message of their face to 0447 33 FACE as part of Australia’s biggest face petition.

Tickets to the five concerts are currently on sale now, and are available through Ticketmaster. For more details head to www.zeroseven.org (.)
