Ramone-a-thon was started in Brisbane, Australia in 2000 by Adam and Tim. The first one was pretty much going to be the only one but it was accepted with such enthusiasm that another was organized the following year, making it a now annual event. It now sells out venues and is one of the most anticipated festivals/parties on the Brisbane music calander.
Bands from all over the world now make the pilgrimage to pay homage to the greatest band who will ever walk this earth.
All profits from Ramoneathon are donated to charity and all people who work for/at Ramone-a-thon including the local bands do so for free.
This years 'Thon is sponsored by Tym guitars, The Alibi room, GBH and Drum Cartel
