Multi-Disciplinary QLD Fest Yonder Returning With WAAX, King Stingray & More

Sunshine Coast festival Yonder has announced its huge 2021 program, set to take over Queensland next month.

The event boasts a gargantuan roster of live music, visual art, workshops and an array of performance styles including standup, cabaret, spoken word, theatre and loads more.

Local legends including WAAX, Sahara Beck, Nice Biscuit and many more will take to the music stage, with a couple extra interstate surprises thrown in as well.

“Most of this year’s program is made up of Queensland’s own, which really aligns with Yonder’s ethos of supporting local talent and providing a platform for emerging artists," explained festival director Lincoln Savage. "It also helps us mitigate some of the difficulties around interstate travel which has been a big roadblock for festivals and gigs this year."

He continued, “that said, we are really excited to be welcoming King Stingray and Alter Boy from out-of- state. They’re two of Australia’s most compelling artists right now and we can’t wait to bring them to a Queensland audience. We are also delighted to welcome a number of powerful First Nations and Indigenous artists to the festival and are appreciative of their involvement.”

Yonder runs from 25 - 27 November in Mary Valley on Kabi Kabi/Gubbi Gubbi country. Tickets for the event are on sale now. For all the info, head to theGuide.
