The anti-fracking fund-raising event will span across seven venues

Anti-fracking fund-raiser Rock The Gate has followed up last month's inaugural line-up announcement by adding esteemed artists such as the legendary David Bridie (of My Friend The Chocolate Cake), Stiff Gins and indigenous rapper Radical Son, taking the total number of performers up to 66, spread across an impressive seven venues.

The event, held in collaboration with anti-fracking alliance Lock The Gate, will further complement existing headliners such as Pete Murray and The Herd with performances not only from musicians such as prodigious activist/rapper/MC Holley Somerville Knott, but comedians too, including Sean ChoolburraGlover & Sorrensen, and Mic Conway & Robbie Long.

In fact, Rock The Gate will this year welcome musicians, comedians, indigenous dancers and community members affected by the fracking industry to stages across Sydney city, including at the Enmore Theatre (main stage), as well as dedicated set-ups at The Town Hall (alt country), The Sly Fox (hip-hop), The Midnight Special (blues), Secret Garden (electronica), and The Green Room and The Warren View (both acoustic-focused).

Rock The Gate 2014, proudly presented by The Music, will be held across all those spaces on Sunday, November 23. Entry will set you back $70; tickets are available via the event website. All ticket proceeds are donated directly to Lock The Gate.
