Rhythm And The Reef returns to the gorgeous surrounds of Mackay's Bluewater Quay this spring for a one-day music extravaganza.
Set against a picturesque waterfront backdrop, Rhythm And The Reef (30 September) will be headlined by funk-pop surf rockers and two-time ARIA Award winners Lime Cordiale ('Robbery', 'Temper Temper', 'Money'). Aussie-based English expat, Example will provide the party beats to crank the festival vibes to the next level. The DJ-producer, who resides in Brisbane, recently played Glastonbury; he'll bring such bangers as 'Kickstarts', 'Changed The Way You Kiss Me' and 'All Night' fresh from his appearance at Creamfields North (UK) to Mackay to have the dance floor heaving.
Quickly rising Australian electronic, indie pop artist Go-Jo joins the Rhythm And The Reef family, bringing a stack of fresh chart toppers in his kitbag including his certified banger 'Mrs. Hollywood' as well as 'Ship In A Bottle'. The WA native will not only make his debut appearance in Mackay, but Rhythm And The Reef will also be his very first festival performance.
To complement the gorgeous seasonal weather of North Queensland, Rhythm And The Reef will also play host to the renowned Daft Punk tribute act Discovery. The space-suit-clad pair will bring live renditions of 'One More Time', 'Starboy' and 'Get Lucky' to festival goers.
A core principle of Rhythm And The Reef is to nurture local talent within the Central and North Queensland regions, providing a platform for emerging artists; 2023 is no different with surf punks Giant Palms, alt rockers Late November, Mackay beatmaker Clovr and Cherry to grace the Mackay stage in 2023.
Tickets on sale from 3 August.
Rhythm And The Reef takes place at Bluewater Quay (Mackay) on 30 September.
