Miley said on Sunday night: ‘Australia! I’m so excited to announce I’m headlining the World Tour Bushfire Relief charity concert on Friday March 13 in Melbourne.
‘Proceeds from ticket sales will go to Australian charities working to restore forests, wildlife and communities affected by the devastating fires.’

During her marriage to Liam Hemsworth, Miley often stayed with his family in Byron Bay, and would visit friends in Victoria while exploring Melbourne.
She is now in a relationship with Gold Coast native, singer Cody Simpson.
In January, Cody revealed he felt ‘helpless’ watching the Australian bushfires spread, while staying with girlfriend Miley in America.
‘Watching my home burn from across the sea… I feel helpless. But there are ways we can all help,’ Cody wrote from Colorado, after spending the festive season in Tennessee with Miley.
