The concert will kick off with a musical havdallah (prayers and songs to farewell the sabbath) from Mullumbimby then feature live (COVID-safe) performances from a secret basement in Sydney.

Plus a host of special video messages of love and support from personalities all over Australia - and beyond. Its presenting partners include the Australian Jewish News, J-Wire and UIA.

Dunera founder Daniel Grynberg said the community was always united - even when apart.

"We know Melbourne is doing it tough and we want our friends to know we are thinking of them, praying for them, sending them love AND music. It's Jewish New Year right now - the perfect time to look forward with hope and heart. And towards the time when we can all jam together again!"

Host and creative director, Ilan Kidron (Potbelleez, Glassbreakers) added: "At Dunera we believe in connection through creativity.

"By putting on a night like this for Melbourne and the rest of the world in lockdown, with so many important artists from our community and beyond, we're saying we are here with you and here for you."
