There is an Asia Pop Fest at Sidney Myer Music Bowl on Friday March 24th at 5pm. Tickets can be purchased at Ticketmaster and are free for students. $25 for everyone else. Surprisingly no handling fee if you buy student ticket. Delivery fees are optional so choose to print tickets at home to really save. Didn't mark this one as a freebie just in case people can't print their own tickets.
The massive Asian pop line-up includes K-pop superstar Ailee, Sing! China runner-up Nathan Hartono and virtual Japanese popstar IA.
Here's the spiel:

From 7pm, as the sun goes down, it’s time to move to the mainstage for a huge line-up of international acts straight from the stages of Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore….and a few unexpected guests.
