The Cat EmpireThe Gold Coast Commonwealth Games is just around the corner with the unveiling of the line-up for the largest arts and culture program in Queensland history – Festival 2018.
Over 12 days in April the GC will be filled with more music than you can shake a stick at, featuring performances from the likes of Amy Shark, Kate Miller-Heikdi , The Cat Empire, Busby Marou and a stack more.
Festival 2018 will be abundant with local artists; something that Commonwealth Games Minister Kate Jones impressed was of strong focus.
“More than half of the 3,500 performers are from Queensland. We’re giving local performers a chance to rub shoulders with some of the biggest acts on the planet and we’re showcasing Queensland talent to a global audience,” Jones said
“Festival 2018 is an opportunity to expose Gold Coast audiences to some of the most sought after arts and culture acts in the world right now.”
In addition to the musical line up they’ll also be film, dance, circus and street theatre happening all over Queensland.
