Ordinary Angels Unite for Reclink Community Cup 2025

Music, mateship and mud collide as Spiderbait, Frente, Surprise Chef ft Ella Thompson and more take the field and the stage to raise vital funds for Australians doing it tough.

The iconic Reclink Community Cup returns in 2025 with a knockout lineup, a footy showdown like no other, and a heartfelt mission: raising funds for Reclink Australia,

supporting disadvantaged Australians through sport, art, and social connection.

Circle the date – Sunday, June 15th at Victoria Park is where music lovers, footy fans, and community champions will gather under this year’s theme inspired by Frente’s beloved anthem, "Ordinary Angels."

2025 Line-up – A Soundtrack of Soul, Grit and Pure Aussie Spirit:

● CHARLIE NEEDS BRACES – Former Rockdog and now fronting her own genre-bending project.

● CONG JOSIE & THE HELL RACERS – The high-energy kids band proving rock is for all ages.

● FRENTE – Performing the iconic "Ordinary Angels" live, celebrating this year’s theme.

● MILO EASTWOOD - Bringer of joy and sunshine to a dancefloor near you.

● SURPRISE CHEF + ELLA THOMPSON – Melbourne's own jazz-funk band featuring powerful soul sensation Ella Thompson.

● SPIDERBAIT – Aussie rock icons take the stage for the second time in eight years, revving up for another blistering set.

● WRONG WAY UP – Post-punk excellence from Melbourne’s underground.

“This isn’t just a footy match or a festival – it’s a living, breathing example of what happens when a community shows up for each other,” said Reclink CEO Dave Wells. “Every goal, riff, and ticket sold helps us continue delivering programs that change lives.”

Now in its 32nd year, the Community Cup is more than tradition—it’s a cultural movement. Just ask Chris Gill, DJ, music industry legend and long-time Megahertz co-captain who’s laced up his boots for nearly two decades at the Community Cup. Or the Old Mates pub in New York, which recently reached out to proudly hang a Reclink Community Cup poster on its walls—proof that this grassroots event pulses through the veins of Aussie identity from Abbotsford all the way to the Big Apple.

This year’s “Ordinary Angels” theme celebrates the unsung legends of community: the ones who show up, uplift others, and create joy on and off the field. That spirit will shine in every tackle, tune and team huddle throughout the day.
