Controversial rock festival Pandemonium Rocks shared a tribute to the Australian Defence Force on Thursday after coming under fire for scheduling the music event at the same time and location as the Anzac Day March in Sydney.
Event organisers put up a sign outside the show's new location at Cathy Freeman Park, which paid respect to the men and women who have served and died in all wars, conflicts and peacekeeping operations.
Sharing an image of the sign to Instagram, organisers attempted to make amends after the furore.
'Pandemonium Rocks thanks all our service men and women,' the message began.
'Thanks to Wounded Heroes also who provide crisis support to ADF veterans and their families.'

The message went on to say that representatives of Wounded Heroes were at the festival and urged attendees to show their support by 'buying a pin' from the charity.
Earlier this year, the festival, which was headlined by legendary rock acts like Blondie, Alice Cooper and Placebo, attracted controversy when it was scheduled to clash with the traditional Anzac Day March in Sydney.
