This year’s Reclink Community Cup in Melbourne is shaping up to be a big one.

Returning to Abbotsford’s Victoria Park on Sunday, 14 June, the annual charitable event – now in its 33rd year – combines Australian music talent with AFL footy before thousands of supporters. Together, everyone works to raise essential funds for Reclink Australia, an organisation that highlights the importance of making sport and recreation accessible to all.

Next month, the annual charity match will see the Megahertz – comprising hosts from local radio stations Triple R and PBS – playing against the Rockdogs (featuring some of Australia’s most loved musicians) for charity. In between the footy, some of the country’s best acts will perform.

In terms of live music, the performers’ line-up features artists spanning punk, indie, soul, and country-inspired dance culture.

Punters can witness sets by C.O.F.F.I.N. with special guest Ambrose Kenny-Smith – of King Gizzard And The King Lizard fame – along with Kim Salmon’s Smoked Salmon, Stella Donnelly and Kee’ahn, Public Figures, Owelu Dreamhouse, Country Struts Boot Scooting, and DJ Charlie Miller.

This year’s Reclink Community Cup takes place from 11 am until 7 pm, with the footy match commencing shortly after 2 pm. The Community Cup and player medals will be presented in the early evening.

Speaking on the ongoing impact of the annual event, Reclink Australia CEO Dave Wells said, “Seeing the music community come together is a reminder that everyone deserves a team to belong to, and the opportunity to participate. Sport can do more than provide enjoyment. It can change lives.

“The result: social inclusion, and improved mental and physical health for those needing it most. We want Australians to see sport and recreation as an essential service for community wellbeing, one that builds connection, belonging and healthier communities for those who need it most.”

This year also marks the 50th anniversary of The Saints’ (I’m) Stranded, which Reclink organisers say underscores the event’s ongoing punk ethos of independence, disruption, and community-led action.

“The Community Cup has always stood for something bigger,” Wells explained. “In an increasingly isolated world, it’s a radical but vital idea: sport as an essential service that belongs to everyone.”
