Radiothon is a massive highlight in the RTRFM calendar and brings together the wider community to celebrate local music, arts and culture.  Both on and off air, Radiothon will feature special guests, huge giveaways and ultimately, incredible community spirit. Proceedings will be kicking off at 6am on Friday 15 August from Local and Aesthetic with a live edition of Breakfast with Pam featuring some of your fav Breakfast guests.

Catch some of Boorloo’s best acts including Erasers, jade//vision live, Elizabeta, Blood Knows and Diode. In the Goodwill Basement Will Slade and Ephacy have curated a night of heavy hitting DJs for you. Up on the rooftop we’ll be celebrating 15 Years of All Things Queer, RTRFM’s LGBTIQA+ show with DJ sets from The Queer Things (Bobby, Lee, Kendall), Elle Cee, Diva2Dive and Wetpuddlss. 

• put on affordable live events throughout the year
