HOODOO GURUS TO HEADLINE BENEFIT CONCERT FOR WILDLIFE IN SEPTEMBER 2025

Byron Bay, NSW – Iconic Australian rock legends the Hoodoo Gurus will headline a powerful night of music and purpose in Byron Bay on Saturday 27th September 2025, leading a star-studded bill for a benefit concert in support of Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital.

Joining the Gurus on the lineup will be special guest Toni Childs, renowned for her soulful vocals and Grammy-nominated career, along with Brisbane power pop favourites Screamfeeder and retro-inspired groove/boogie band The Honey Sliders, known for their high-energy live shows and heartfelt tributes to classic albums.

The benefit concert aims to raise critical funds for the Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital, which provides lifesaving veterinary care for sick, injured and orphaned native animals.

“Native animals face peril every day from habitat loss, pollution, road trauma, feral pests and introduced disease,” said Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital Founder and CEO Dr. Stephen Van Mil.

“We are truly honoured to have the Hoodoo Gurus, Toni Childs, Screamfeeder and The Honey Sliders donate their talents to support our veterinary hospital’s lifesaving work for native animals.”

All proceeds from the event will directly support lifesaving veterinary treatment and long-term rehabilitation of native birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians, including threatened species.

“We’re thrilled to be part of something so meaningful,” said Dave Faulkner, frontman of the Hoodoo Gurus. “Byron Bay is a place we love, and this concert gives us the chance to give back in a big way to help protect our incredible wildlife.”

Staged at the 1600 capacity Green Room on the 300-acre home of Bluesfest Byron Bay, the one-night-only event promises a spirited atmosphere filled with live music, community goodwill and conservation awareness.
