Mieka, 16, died at the scene near Dubbo, in central west New South Wales on Thursday night, while 10-year-old Freya is still fighting for life in hospital.
The girls and their mother were on their way to Melbourne from the Gold Coast for the concert when their SUV collided head-on with a semi-trailer.
Freya was flown to Westmead Hospital in Sydney in a critical condition.
It is understood she remains in an induced coma with serious brain injuries.
Their mother was treated by paramedics at the scene and taken to Dubbo Hospital with minor injuries.
The driver of the semi-trailer was taken to Dubbo Hospital in a stable condition.
Police are investigating the circumstances of the crash and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
Family and friends have set up an online fundraiser to help the Queensland family with costs, such as accommodation in Sydney.
