Tickets are on sale now for the Where We Belong Festival, with music lovers of all ages and abilities urged to come together to hear a big line-up of bands including Frenzal Rhomb.
The event will be held at Redcliffe Area Youth Space on June 28 from 10am-10pm, showcasing 14 bands and offering festivalgoers the chance to enjoy live music, a beer garden, food trucks, market stalls and merchandise stands.
Australian punk legends Frenzal Rhomb will headline the festival which will also include bands Being Jane Lane, Bridge 2 Nowhere and Something Something Explosion.
The event is being created by Tribe Social Belonging and Redcliffe Area Youth Space to support the local music community and raise money for both organisations.
Tribe Social Belonging spokeswoman Breeza Daley says Tribe’s Redcliffe clubhouse regularly hosts live music and the concept for a festival came from a conversation with founder Ryan Elson.
“We were talking about those old-school festivals, where you just used to sit on a green and learn about new bands that you’d never heard before. We kinda miss those days,” Breeza says.
“We wanted to bring music to Redcliffe as well. I think it’s something that is lacking on the Peninsula.
“We have such great space and there’s such a demographic for it. People want to see bands without having to drive all the way into Fortitude Valley, the city, the Gold Coast or even Sandstone Point.
“We decided to do a festival where we could bring everyone together just for the love of music and to connect … also to create an affordable festival. We’ve been modelling it on the old-school Big Day Out days where you could buy a $40 ticket and see a whole heap of bands.
“We created the first one last year, which was super successful. The line-up was fantastic, the response was incredible.”
The accessible event will be free for children under 12 years of age, accompanied by an adult.
“Everyone should have an opportunity to come and enjoy music … be able to relax and enjoy that festival vibe,” Breeza says.
She says last year’s event had a relaxed and positive vibe.
“It was just fun and to be able to see people there with their kids … and watching the bigger bands watching the smaller bands was amazing,” Breeza says.
“The vibe was just relaxed, people just having fun. It was great. It was really fantastic.”
Organisers are hoping to fill Redcliffe Area Youth Space’s amphitheatre area, which has a capacity of 3000 people. Last year’s event attracted about 1700 people.
“I really would love to see people support small festivals and take a chance on getting to know bands they don’t know on the line-up. Just get out there and discover new music because there’s some talented young bands out there that don’t have an opportunity to play,” Breeza says.
“We just want everyone to come along and have a really great experience and if we can help the local economy a bit by having people stay in hotels and eat at restaurants that’s great too.”
She is also keen to support the work Redcliffe Area Youth Space does in the community, supporting vulnerable young people and giving them training opportunities.
“The Youth Space does such important work … we always want to support them and it’s so nice for them to give us their venue to host the event,” Breeza says.
“Their trainees will be volunteering on the day and helping out with the show, so that gives them really good experience as well. It’s definitely good to put on a resume that you’ve worked at a festival.”
Tickets to the Where We Belong Festival are $50 + booking fee.
