Two concert events will be held in Castlemaine this Sunday to raise funds to support the people of Palestine.
From 1.30pm local band DEAD will be performing as part of an all-ages gig at ONI Streetwear at 22 Hargraves Street.
Local ageing rockers DEAD will team up with Electric Heads; the heaviest thing to come out of Chewton Primary School since…well ever! This is the last local show for DEAD before they head to the US to play the Caterwaul Festival in Minnesota next month.
The bands have chosen to donate all proceeds from the April 21 gig to Palestine Australia Relief and Action, which supports Palestinians to live safe, happy and fulfilling lives in Australia.

From 3pm the Castlemaine Theatre Royal will host a fundraiser for We Are Not Numbers, supported by the Middle East Children’s Alliance, a registered non-profit organisation.
All proceeds will go to providing much-needed food, water and electricity for the writers (and their families) from We Are Not Numbers, who – despite the very real fear of being killed – are continuing to write and tell their stories.
This peaceful event will have music from The Double Dole String Band, Eliza Hull, Baby Velvet, Charlie Needs Braces, Angie Hart, Nokomi Achkar, and The Freedom Singers. With poetry by talented local poets Andy Jackson and Declan Furber Gillick.
There’ll be an art auction and a raffle made up of donations from many of Castlemaine’s local businesses.
There will also be screen printing on the day, so take along your t-shirts!
