A planned rock concert in Sydney on Anzac Day, known as the Pandemonium rock concert, has been the subject of controversy after war veterans and military veteran organizations criticized its scheduling. The concert was initially approved to be held at The Domain, close to where the Anzac Day memorial march would take place, prompting veteran groups to declare the day 'not for sale'. Following significant backlash, NSW Premier Chris Minns stated that the concert will not proceed and will be relocated. The promoter of the Pandemonium rock concert expressed feeling blindsided by the outrage. The NSW government has emphasized that they were not consulted about the event, which they found 'completely inconsistent' with the solemnity of Anzac Day.
