What s a festival without mud? Noonan said. It s just incredibly exciting, it feels like the right time to be emerging after the pandemic hit us a bit over a year ago. The two-day all-ages music festival features major talents like Kate Miller-Heidke, Busby Marou, Miiesha, Asha Jefferies, Sahara Beck and Coast artists including Andrea Kirwin and the Yama-Nui Social Club, The Dreggs and Band of Frequencies. Busby Marou are set to hit the stage at Eumundi Showgrounds this weekend. Noonan managed to keep working, despite pandemic restrictions, by doing a southeast Queensland regional tour late last year. I ve done three lots of quarantine in order to work - I did The Masked Singer in Melbourne in the peak of COVID and had to do 14 days quarantine - it s pretty intense, she said.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander performers have taken out a raft of gongs at this year’s APRA Music Awards, led by Kamilaroi rapper The Kid Laroi winning Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year.
The award continues a wave of both local and international success for The Kid Laroi – real name Charlton Howard – since the release of his debut mixtape, F ck Love.
The Kid Laroi grew up in Waterloo, Sydney and became the youngest ever Australian solo artist to take the ARIA’s number one spot at 17 years old, as well the second ever Aboriginal solo to reach the top of the chart, after the late, great Yolŋu performer Gurrumul.

QMF ambassador for North Queensland and current member of Busby Marou, Jeremy Marou, said the initiative was a great way to boost the economy and encourage Australians to visit regional and remote areas of Queensland.
