I've heard that everyone who was asked to perform was more than keen to be there. Aside from amazing musicians there were many notable celebrities in the crowd.
The first guest was no less than the Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, who was wearing ABC Sox.
Some names that stood out for me included: Brian Nankervis, Colin Denovan, David Anderson, Deborah Cheetham Fraillon, Jacinta Allan, Jacinta Parsons, John Pesutto, Jon Faine, Mark Seymore - (hunters & collectors), Paul Higgins, Pete Smith, Peter Couchman, Raf Epstein, Red Symonds , Sarah Blasco, The Teskey Brothers, Tina Arena, TISM, Vicka & Linda Bull, and Virginia Trioli.
Danny Tran was there doing interviews for a TV news spot. Daniel Ziffer was sitting behind me. (I wanted to tell him how much I enjoyed his coverage of Sam Bankman-Fried's hair).
The show opened with the ABC news with the theme played live. Here are a few clips:

As well as those of us who've worked at 3LO in the past, the current staff gathered for a photo:
