A string of big-name Australian music acts are joining forces to take a stand on single-use plastic water bottles and throw their support behind Green Music Australia's Plastic Free July campaign. 

Joining the cause as #BYOBottle Ambassadors includes Gang Of Youths, Alex the Astronaut, The Teskey Brothers, Luca Brasi, and Moreton.

The musicians will commit to ditch single-use plastic water bottles at their gigs at venues and festivals, opting instead for jugs or water stations. 

"We won't play till the plastic goes away," The Teskey Brothers said.

"If we all live by this venues and festivals will catch on pretty soon. Who knows how far it can go from there."

Green Music Australia's Plastic Waste Campaigner, Berish Bilander, said they're "thrilled" with the support from some of the country's favourite musicians. 

"Plastic pollution is harming our planet at an extraordinary scale, threatening sea-life, washing up on remote islands, and entering our food chain and drinking water," Bilander said.

"Simple actions, like bringing your own bottle to gigs, not only stop waste at its source, but has the potential to create deep and lasting cultural change."
