LIGHT UP: Music. Hope. Action.
Saturday 4 October 2025 | polytec Stadium, Gosford
Birds of Tokyo, LUUDE, Mia Wray, The Moving Stills and more announced for landmark Central Coast event
On Saturday 4 October, Gosford’s polytec Stadium will transform into something extraordinary. LIGHT UP isn’t just another concert – it’s a day where music, memory and community come together in the name of change.
Created in honour of Audrey Griffin, LIGHT UP stands for a future where everyone has the simple right to get home safely. It’s a rallying call to unite as a community, to demand better, and to prove that music and action can go hand in hand.
Now, the line-up is here. And it’s big. Iconic Aussie rockers Birds of Tokyo will headline alongside electronic hitmaker LUUDE, powerhouse vocalist Mia Wray, local favourites The Moving Stills, high-energy DJ Moody Tiger Pants, and a very special set from Arabella Romi – a close friend of Audrey’s and one of the Coast’s brightest young talents.
It’s set to be a huge all-ages, family-friendly day of live music, food stalls, safe spaces, community info hubs and a busking tent showcasing even more local talent.
Organisers are asking everyone who attends to wear white — creating a sea of light in the stadium. It’s a living canvas of unity: a way to honour Audrey’s life, celebrate her spirit, and mark this moment as one of hope, resilience and collective strength.
And the glow won’t stop at the stadium gates. Locals and businesses are being invited to leave their lights on across the Central Coast on October 4. From lounge rooms to shopfronts, the message will shine bright – a beacon of remembrance, solidarity and safe passage home.
Behind LIGHT UP is a team of passionate community leaders, event producers, artists and, at its heart, Audrey’s mum, Kathleen. Together, they’ve transformed unimaginable loss into a movement – Stand With Audrey – which is now driving education, advocacy and change right across the region.
“Music has always been about bringing people together,” says Greg Carey, Artist Manager and Chair of CCMA. “LIGHT UP is about doing that in the most powerful way possible – honouring Audrey, celebrating community, and creating change.”
