Castlemaine’s going for a world record — and it’s all about Aussie band tees

Castlemaine is at it again with another delightfully weird and wonderful community idea — this time, a world record attempt for the most people wearing an Australian band T-shirt in one place at the same time.

Locals are being called to head down to Sunken Oval on Sunday 23 November at 2pm, decked out in their favourite Aussie band tee — think INXS, Silverchair, Tame Impala, or that faded Powderfinger shirt you refuse to throw out — all in the name of Aus Music T-Shirt Day and raising money for Support Act.

The event comes from local legends Fionna and her partner Adam, who admit they have a habit of turning silly ideas into real-life community projects. (“We really have to stop doing this,” they say — but we hope they never do.)

While AusMusic T-Shirt Day officially lands on Thursday 27 November, this pre-party in Castlemaine is a chance for music lovers to come together, celebrate homegrown talent, and support a cause that looks after the people who make the music we love.

AusMusic T-Shirt Day is a national day of celebration, joy and recognition — a chance to show up for the people who make the music happen. From artists and bandmates to crew, techs, managers and beyond, it takes a whole community to bring Australian music to life. Wearing a tee, raising funds or making a donation is how we celebrate that community — and how we help Support Act continue delivering vital mental health support, crisis relief and dedicated services for those who keep the industry going. It’s more than a t-shirt. It’s a show of solidarity for the heartbeat of Australian music.

So, grab your mates, throw on your loudest Aussie band tee, and be part of a record-breaking moment that’s equal parts ridiculous, heartwarming, and totally on-brand for Castlemaine.
