YOUNG Mackay musician Bella Mackenzie will warm up crowds south-west of the Sugar City ahead of an iconic appearance by Aussie greats including Daryl Braithwaite.

Ross Wilson and The Potbelleez will take to the stage during the 4U2 Family Concert in Moranbah on Saturday.

The annual all-ages community event was kick-started by the Hornery Group in 2013 to raise cash for essential medical services, and this year the Royal Brisbane Women's Hospital Foundation and RACQ CQ Rescue.

Marking its sixth annual showing, the concert, supported by Isaac Regional Council, provides a platform for home-grown artists to shine.

Bella, 13, is set to appear alongside bands Bulletproof and Final Warning (featuring Derran Hornery) before the headliners take over in the evening.

The council's mayor, Anne Baker, described the concert as a top opportunity to bring the Bowen Basin community together for a vibrant family experience, featuring high-quality entertainment backing a worthy cause.

Gates will open at the Hornery Business Complex on Railway Station Road, Moranbah at 2pm on Saturday.

Ticket booking details and more information about the event can be found on the Hornery Group page on Facebook.
