It opens with the Dead Song Society – a joyful, stripped-back community singalong.
Two feature acts follow: an intimate acoustic set, then an upbeat, dance-ready band.
Grassroots, volunteer-powered, and proudly community-driven.
Fresh sounds, shared voices, and a little BUg mischief in the mix.

Bluegrass Barbie and the Ken Dolls are Brisbane's pinkgrass pioneers. Led by powerhouse vocalist and fiddler Amily, backed by world-class musicians on guitar, banjo, mandolin, and double bass. They blend traditional bluegrass with originals in high-energy, foot-stomping performances. It's bluegrass - but make it pink (and sparkly).
7.45pm THE INADEQUATES

The Inadequates are a modern acoustic sensation that is making waves on the Australian folk scene. Dressed in vibrant suits, their high-energy performances are infectious, making them festival favourites everywhere they perform. Drawing inspiration from artists like Punch Brothers, Nickel Creek, and Mumford & Sons, the Inadequates are constantly pushing boundaries, splicing the intimacy of traditional acoustic music with the exhilarating energy of a modern rock ensemble.
7pm DEAD SONG SOCIETY
Dead Song Society, hosted by Bec Hoole (AKA indie artist Pipin), is a bold new community-singing project inspired by the spirit of Dead Poets Society, celebrating creativity, connection and joyful rebellion. Gather to sing fun, quirky songs, embrace your inner mischief-maker, and discover the freedom that comes from raising voices together. Carpe cantum - seize the song!
