The theme for the concert is 'Australia Stands for Mate-ship' and organiser behind the event Lenny Teelow said the concert aims to pay back those who have worked tirelessly to defend communities from the fires.
"We try to do what we can," Mr Teelow said.
"All the proceeds will go towards - well I like to call them heroes - the fireman and of course others that have lost stuff in the fires.
"We get in and help those heroes... they're just so great, they lay down their lives literally [to help]."

Mr Teelow said the theme for the concert reflects a core value of Australians and stems from one of his very own songs.
"We look out for our own," Mr Teelow said.
"When the cry for help goes out, we don't let them stand alone."
The event will feature bush poetry from Harry Bestwick as well as musical performances from local group Recycled and Whitton pair Bill and Suzie Bevan and Mr Teelow himself, with a sausage sizzle and a raffle also planned.
Entry is $10 and the concert will kick off at 12.30pm.
