This smacks of corporate social media bullshit more than anything organic

$32 to listen to a speaker in a Bunnings car park seems a little overpriced

Matches the price of the sausages then...

Still less than what I'd usually end up spending when I go to Bunnings.

For charity, though so 🤷‍♀️

Lottie (who also moonlights as a Bunnings team member by day).

That's called "having a day job" and isnt typically a thing to boast about for your performers

Headlining this epic event is Aussie music legends Peking Duk, who will be joined by What So Not, Kaila, NayNay and Lottie (who also moonlights as a Bunnings team member by day). It’s set to take place on August 31 in the store’s car park, with all funds raised going towards Support Act – a not-for-profit organisation that provides crisis relief and mental health support to people in the music industry.

So it's a corporate PR charity concert event? not the most offensive thing I can think of.

Does the price of my ticket include being burnt alive by the BBQ? I want the full Bunnings experience!
