Support Act reports that music workers experience psychological distress at almost four times the national average, and that more than a third live below the poverty line. This year’s line-up of ambassadors is a big one, featuring Baker Boy, Vera Blue, Genesis Owusu, Becca Hatch, Kobie Dee, Vanessa Amorosi, Pacific Avenue and The Presets, alongside the likes of Gang of Youths, Ella Hooper, Ben Lee and Natalie Bassingthwaighte.
The pre-order collection runs 19 designs deep, each dreamed up by an Australian visual artist. Highlights include an INXS piece nodding to the band’s Northern Beaches roots, an advance print for The Presets’ Foreverafter touring festival, and a Baker Boy design by Mina Leunig that leans into culture, heritage and country. Becca Hatch also drops her first-ever piece of merch, timed with her November single, ‘T-Shirt’. Gang of Youths, Ninajirachi, Karnivool, Bachelor Girl, 3%, Bon Scott & Doc Neeson, Mental As Anything and Rob Hirst fill out the rest.
Beyond the artist designs, there’s a hero shirt by Sebi White, a kids’ tee from Kylie Strachan at Nomad Create, an Ausify campaign piece, and a CrewCare shirt by Shannon Trottman honouring the roadies, techs and riggers who keep live shows moving. American Apparel and Love Police are covering production and printing so more of every dollar lands where it should, while triple j and ARIA return as founding partners. Fans can pre-order a shirt, sign up a workplace or personal team, host a morning tea or donate directly.
