Kate Miller-Heidke in Angkor Wat concert

Australian pop singer Kate Miller-Heidke has performed at an historic concert
against human trafficking at Angkor Wat temple in Cambodia.
About 1,200 fans attended the first rock concert ever held at the ancient site set
in the Cambodian jungle on December 8, which was organised by anti-trafficking
campaign group MTV Exit.
Miller-Heidke was the only Australian artist on the bill, which featured rock group
Placebo, US singer Duncan Sheik and various Cambodian bands.
The 27-year-old Brisbane singer received one of the biggest cheers of the night for
her operatic cover of the Britney Spears hit Toxic.
She described the concert as amazing and humbling.
"The setting was magical and timeless," Miller-Heidke said.
"As soon as the music started, all these Khmers came out of the forest and were
dancing under the stars.
"While we were doing sound check, about a dozen Buddhist monks in their saffron
robes were peering out of the temple at us, curious about what was going on. It was
utterly surreal."
MTV Exit, in partnership with music channel MTV, is holding a series of high profile
concerts around South East Asia to raise awareness among possible victims of human
exploitation.
"I was shocked to discover there are more slaves today than have ever existed
throughout history - not thousands but millions of people are being forced into sex
slavery and slave labour," Miller-Heidke said.
"I felt extremely moved watching the other bands play in that amazing setting for
such an important cause.
"It was humbling to be there and I will never forget the experience."
