The annual clash between Triple R 102.7FM / PBS 106.7FM Megahertz and the Rockdogs is almost upon us! 'Carn the Megaz!

The Cup is being polished, the Sherrin is being pumped, excitement is mounting as preparations are well underway for the annual event! This take-no-prisoners traditional clash between Triple R 102.7FM / PBS 106.7FM Megahertz and the Rockdogs which will be fought out at Elsternwick Park on Sunday 22nd June.

With only four weeks until the event, it is time to reveal who will be performing and as always it’s a fun-packed and eclectic bunch..... Aussie cult 80s favourite Painters And Dockers will grace the stage in a rare performance, along with Saskwatch who will deliver their special brand of traditional soul meets modern atmospheric rock. Melbourne folk-punk four-piece Smith Street Band will also make an appearance and are bound to stir up the crowd, as well as indie darling and leader of the cosmic country spaceways Fraser A. Gorman.

And first up, a family pre-match treat, direct from Sesame Street, Elmo & Friends featuring Elmo himself with that lovable glutton Cookie Monster performing for the kids. The anthem will be delivered by David Bridie, lending it his special twist. The footy match between the community broadcasters and the Melbourne rock fraternity remains the centre piece of the day, however the entire day promises to be huge and this year’s line up is a special treat within itself.

Each year, the Reclink Community Cup promotes an all-inclusive fun day out in the suburbs, upholding the tradition of the event taking place on suburban footy ovals each year. The Reclink Community Cup raises funds for Reclink Australia and celebrates Melbourne’s dynamic music and community broadcasting cultures. Reclink Australia, uses sport and the arts to enhance the lives of people experiencing disadvantage and targets some of the community’s most vulnerable and isolated people - those experiencing mental illness, disability, homelessness, substance abuse, addiction and social and economic hardship. With the recent announcement of the organisation losing $560,000 of their funding during the recent Federal Budget cuts, this year it is more important than ever to show your support. With such an eclectic line up, it’s certain the 2014 Reclink Community Cup will once again deliver an entertaining day out.

Whilst we can’t promise good football, we can promise one of the most entertaining spectacles on the rock calendar year!
