Shredders, music gurus and festival lovers get amped! Following a sold out 2017 festival, SHAKAFEST is back on deck for its third year in 2018 with a fresh date, frothin’ lineup and its all going down at a bangin’ new home at the Gold Coast’s Broadwater Parklands on Saturday November 24.
Leading the pack this year are Sydney hip-hop collective Bliss N Eso followed by party starters Last Dinosaurs, Australia’s favourite space explorer, Alex The Astronaut, electric lady Bec Sandridge, Frenzal Rhomb, The Chats, Carmouflage Rose, Jesswar and a whole heap more. For the laughs, ‘Shoey’ ambassador and all round good bloke, Frenchy is MC’ing 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. With heaps more artists to be announced, SHAKAFEST is just getting started.
Following the huge success of previous years, SHAKAFEST has outgrown its original home at Miami Shark Bar, leading to the relocation of the Coast’s favourite one-day-rager to a bigger space. Festival organisers say punters will be ‘absolutely stoked’ with the new ocean-side home at Broadwater Parklands with the rolling greens allowing more freedom for the team to be creative with the festival layout and the nearby G:link connecting to just about every transport hub in South East Queensland. The new site also allows for the return of the famed SHAKAFEST half-pipe with an impressive lineup of skateboarding talentto be announced soon.
Tickets are on sale now, so chuck your thumb and your pinky finger to the sky because its SHAKA time!
