Australian rock royalty is stepping up to the plate to help tackle local hunger by joining a massive volunteer-run music event in Redcliffe.
A Powerful Line-up for Local Support
The upcoming 14th edition of Rockin 4 The Homeless will see well-known musician Darren Middleton join the stage at Dolphins in Redcliffe on Sunday, July 12. Middleton, who spent decades as a key songwriter and guitarist for the famous band Powderfinger, will bring his experience to the community event with a special solo performance.
This year, the fundraiser has also gained the support of Tim Rogers from the band You Am I, who is serving as an official Ambassador. These musicians are lending their time to help increase the profile of the event, which is expected to draw a large crowd following the local NRL match between the Dolphins and the Sharks at Kayo Stadium the day before.
Helping the Community One Meal at a Time
The main goal of the day is to raise money for The Breakfast Club, a group that has been working in the Redcliffe area since 2003. This organisation provides over 1,000 meals every month to people who are struggling. Because the event is entirely run by volunteers and paid for by local sponsors, every cent collected from the public goes straight to the charity.
Event organisers believe the involvement of high-profile artists like Middleton and Rogers shows how much the cause matters to the wider Australian music scene.
The Evolution of a Guitar Great
Middleton’s appearance comes during a busy period for the musician. While many fans remember him for his work on major rock albums like Vulture Street, he has spent the last few years focusing on his own storytelling through solo music. In 2026, he has been busy touring with the Australian Rock Collective, a group made up of members from other famous bands like Jet and Spiderbait.
His latest work continues to explore more personal themes, which aligns with the community spirit of the Redcliffe fundraiser. By moving from large stadium tours to a local solo set, he is helping to ensure that the 2026 edition of the event is the most impactful one yet.
