Isla Ka, Bad Beef and Cotton Pony will each put on a set, with the money going to the Cobargo Bushfire Recovery Fund.
The charity was chosen with careful effort, Frankie Andrews, who is in both Isla Ka and Bad Beef, said.
"We researched different funds and decided to go with a smaller community group," she said.
IN OTHER NEWS:
"They emailed us with specifics on what they've actually spent the money on so far. One of the projects they've got coming up is for youth that have been traumatised by the fire to have music-related therapy, as well as putting in infrastructure like solar panels where power will be out for weeks and weeks.
"We all have friends and family who are directly affected [by the fires], and the sheer number of wildlife as well...it's pretty overwhelming."
There will also be a raffle with Barratts Music donating a ukelele, and Sweetbrew cafe, Avenue Records and JB Hi-Fi donating vouchers.
