Honouring Audrey Griffin and uniting the Central Coast for a safer future
On Saturday 4 October, polytec Stadium in Gosford will come alive for LIGHT UP, a landmark event bringing together some of Australia’s biggest names and brightest emerging artists. More than just a celebration of live music, this powerful day is about community, remembrance, and change.
Inspired by the memory of Audrey Griffin, LIGHT UP stands for a future where everyone has the simple right to get home safely. It is a rallying call and community movement to reclaim our right to move freely, live fully, and shape a future where safety and respect are a reality for everyone.
This year’s stellar line-up will include support from iconic Australian contemporary rock band Birds of Tokyo, electronic hitmaker LUUDE, powerhouse vocalist Mia Wray, Central Coast favourites The Moving Stills, DJ Moody Tiger Pants, and very special guest and a close friend of Audrey’s; talented local singer- songwriter Arabella Romi. They are set to take to the stage for an unforgettable all-ages, family-friendly day of music with additional food stalls, safe spaces, info stands and busking tent also running throughout the day.
Organisers, led by Kathleen, Audrey’s devoted mum – ask all who gather to come dressed in white: a living canvas of light, a sea of unity. To not only honour Audrey’s life, to celebrate her spirit, but to mark this moment in time as one of hope, change, and collective strength.
In a further gesture of solidarity, they ask locals, businesses, and attendees to leave their lights on Saturday 4 October. Let Gosford and the Central Coast shine bright, illuminating the night as a beacon of remembrance and a promise of safe passage home.
The loss of Audrey Griffin has had a profound impact on myself, our close friends and the wider community. As a father raising two young daughters on the Central Coast, I spoke with another friend – who has a son the same age as Audrey – and we both felt we couldn’t stay silent. We wanted to do something that not only honours her life, but advocates for real change and brings people together to build a safer future for the Central Coast and beyond.
Coming from a background in music and events, we’ve always lived by the belief that music brings community together. That’s exactly what LIGHT UP is about.
