Meanwhile, Ben Lee, Dean Lewis, Jimmy Barnes and The Kid Laroi were among the already announced acts who will have their sets streamed.
In even more exciting news, David Campbell, Brooke Boney and Kate Gudinski have been announced as the hosts for the evening.
Gudinski’s father Michael was the person who conceptualised last year’s inaugural Music From the Home Front Event.
The Chairman of Mushroom Group and Aussie music legend was in the final stages of planning this year’s event when he passed away suddenly last month.
In a statement, Crowded House’s Neil Finn made note of the show falling on Anzac Day Eve.
‘With Crowded House recently reunited and playing live in NZ it was a pleasure to be able to perform for Music From The Home Front again, this time all in the same room,” he said.
“We remember those who went before, who first summoned the ANZAC spirit, as it moves to a new level with free travel once more between our shores, hopeful signs … We also remember the originator of this gathering the late great Michael Gudinski.”
Mark Seymour also paid tribute to both the Anzacs and Michael Gudinski in his statement, saying: “It is an honour to be part of this great television event once again. “Brilliantly conceived last year by our long-time friend Michael Gudinski, Music From The Home Front is both a powerful statement of respect for the courage and sacrifice of our war dead and a celebration of Australian songs in the Anzac tradition.”
Final tickets for the Bowl concert are still available via Music From The Home Front’s website.
