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.
Katie Noonan has assembled her dream team in Eumundi for a May Day long weekend music festival. It s 100 per cent Queensland, 50 per cent Sunshine Coast, 50 per cent First Nations and 75 per cent female, she said. Ms Noonan said securing Miiesha is a real festival coup. She s very much a star on the rise from Woorabinda in Central Queensland, she said. The Sunday program includes a Sunshine Sounds Community Choir, where festival-goers get to join in what promises to be a goosebumps-inducing group singalong for all ages and abilities. Ms Noonan said the festival was a timely economic lifeline for her adopted home town.
