The announcement comes a week after the hugely successful Fire Fight Australia bushfire relief fundraiser was held in Sydney, where 75,000 gathered for a star-studded line-up including Queen and Adam Lambert, 5 Seconds of Summer, k.d. lang and a number of other artists.

The event, hosted by comedian Celeste Barber, raised more than $9.5 million for bushfire relief charities.
