Breathe and Rebuild will take concert-goers on a journey from an afternoon session of acoustic and intimate artists, through an evening of indie-pop, jazz and folk, and into a night of psych-rock, punk and grunge.
Organiser Sarah Triffitt - member of Paper Souls, who will perform for the first time in over 12 months - said there would be something for everyone, and people could pop in at any time throughout the eight-hour gig.
"Considering the theme and the cause, it's a really good example of how everybody from all different genres are coming together to support this," she said.
"It's been evident across fundraisers all over the place as well, that we're all combining behind the bushfire relief cause.
"That's why we've made it a mixed-genre event, so hopefully we can get a big, diverse audience as well."
Kicking off at 4pm, solo artists Alexander Tyson and Angus Austin offer a contrast from electric grunge, to indie-pop with jazz undertones. Den. will give the audience a taste of her new music, while Sleepyheads front man Pat Broxton will play a solo show.
Duo the Runaway Belles will play indie folk tunes, and electric duo A Boy Named Sue will play their style of blues and roots with indie rock vibes.
