Now entering its third year, Gold Coast's annual celebration of music and skateboarding Shakafest is back in 2018 (24 November) at a bigger location and will be headlined by hip hop royalty Bliss N Eso.
After last year's sell-out, punters can expect a host of the country's best rock and hip hope exports to land at Broadwater Parklands.
On the menu this year will be party starters Last Dinosaurs, Alex The Astronaut with her A+ banter as well as fellow electric lady Bec Sandridge.
Two generations of Aussie punk collide when Frenzal Rhomb and The Chats rock up alongside Brisbane's gold-record-selling Carmouflage Rose and GC local Jesswar.
For the laughs, 'Shoey' ambassador and all-round good bloke, Frenchy is MCing the whole event. Plus Frenchy's band, Frenchy & The Talent, are the first band to be announced on the brand new Rabbit Stage.
Curated by the one and only Rabbit Radio crew, the Rabbit Stage also hosts punk legends Clowns and VOIID.
The new site also allows for the return of the famed Shakafest half-pipe with an impressive line-up of skateboarding talent to be announced soon.
With heaps more artists to be announced, Shakafest is just getting started.
Shakafest 2018 takes place at Broadwater Parklands (Gold Coast) 24 November. General public tickets go on sale at 1pm local time, Friday 31 August. Click here for more information.
