There will be constant entertainment throughout the event with busker's, street performers and musical acts.
With artists still yet to be confirmed the main attractions so far are:
Sat Nite: Acca Dacca: the Ultimate Bon Scott Show - Snake - Jester
The ACCA/DACCA show goes for a full earth shattering 2 hours where the punters are taken on a one way ride through such classics as Dirty Deeds, T.N.T, Highway to Hell, The Jack, Rosie, Let There Be Rock and a mountain of other AC/DC hits.
Wayne Brown [Angus] was almost born for this part with those distinctive knobby knees and repeat offender looks. In full uniform Wayne rules the stage like the wayward schoolboy himself. Wayne rips out Angus solo’s note for note and would defy even the hardest of critics to find a difference.
The back line is phenomenal with Phil Rowley [Malcolm] stabilizing the foundations with that hard hitting, heavy guitar sound we all know is AC/DC. Bass playing is superbly done by Dave Lynch and drumming is pounded out from Damion Syme Together with 15,000 watts of sound and light show ACCA/DACCA looks, acts and most importantly sounds like the old AC/DC with BON.
Sun Nite: James Blundell - Jetty Road - Kirsty Lee Akers - Garth Brooks Tribute Band
James Blundell - two decades, nine albums, country fame, pop hits, a national top five album and ones that came nowhere near, nine Golden Guitars, an ARIA Award, songs written and recorded in Nashville, New York, Los Angeles, London and Dublin, collaborations with good earth riders and metal muthas, years as a bona-fide Queensland cattleman, the embrace of Vietnam vets, a highly visible Qantas ad, gold and platinum plaques, national recognition, exultation and disillusionment, glowing reviews and occasional indifference, a tour with Kris Kristofferson and a chin wag with Johnny Cash, uncountable shows on the road that goes on forever, wrong turns and right ...... all with his curiosity, intuition, good humor and dogged determination intact. As the Grateful Dead once sang: "What a long strange trip it's been."
"Half your career is devoted to getting on your own road" James contends, twenty years after he won the Starmaker competition, fresh-faced and eager to conquer country. "I'm a very different person from that young bloke - I've learned a helluva lot along the way, most of it from making mistakes and going through tough times. Now I've reached a personal place of comfort where I'm relaxed about pretty much everything. I know I'm no 'man of the moment', I'm not a current artist. If I had to describe the sort of music I'm making now I think it would be songs of experience leading to clarity. Musically I'm a very definite product of an evolving Australian psyche."
Monday Morning: The Sunny CowGirls
Australians love a good yarn and The Sunny Cowgirls are supreme storytellers.
The music and original song-writing of Sophie and Celeste Clabburn have struck a chord not just with country music fans but Aussie's all over.
The Sunny Cowgirls’ songs are authentic stories of outback life and bloody hard work, coupled with universal themes of longing for love and romance while keeping your favorite Ute on the road - all told with their unique, sisterly sense of humor.
Their debut CD Little Bit Rusty raced onto the country charts in the week of its April 2005 release.
The latest album, Long Five Days shows the lessons learnt as full-time professionals on the road but still featuring their sharp, polished harmonies and insightful lyrics.
With the music turned up full blast it’s easy to imagine yourself in an outback pub with a crowd of jackaroos and rousabouts determined to have a good time.
