A host of Australian rockers will protest against the federal government's industrial relations laws at a concert in Sydney later this month.

Organised by Unions NSW, the April 22 Rockin For Rights concert will feature a variety of acts including Hoodoo Gurus, Something For Kate, The Whitlams, The Screaming Jets, Dallas Crane, You Am I, The Herd, Mark Seymour and Magic Dirt.

Concert-goers will stage a protest march from Hyde Park in the city's CBD to the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG), where the concert is being held.

Labor MP and former Midnight Oil frontman Peter Garrett will host the gig, with organisers hoping to sell 40,000 tickets.
