Sydney Celebrates Strummer

It’s amazing to think it’s been five years since the late great Joe Strummer of The Clash passed away. Sydney fans can pay their respects at a tribute concert at the end of the month.

On December 22, The Gaelic will host Revolution Rock – A Joe Strummer Tribute Night. The Living End’s Travis Dempsey will take to the stage with his new band The Currency, alongside The Hard-Ons, Waiting for Guiness, Steppin’ Razor, and Gambeta.

It’s not just an opportunity to hear some great music, it’s also a way to help a great cause. All proceeds will go to Strummerville, a charity which creates new opportunities for struggling young musicians.

Tickets are available through Moshtix for $20 plus booking fee.
