QLD Music Trails introduces their debut Brisbane event, Sweet Relief!, a unique one-day party and springtime getaway. Expected to be a not-to-missed spectacle, the festival also announces an Australian exclusive headlining DJ sets from legendary electronic music titans hailing from the UK, Groove Armada and cult Australian dance act, The Avalanches.
Alongside musical acts, there will of course be carnival rides, market stalls and more.
“We’re so excited to be heading up to Brisbane to play at Maritime Green at Northshore Brisbane. It’s such a cool looking spot – we’ve got a feeling it’s gonna be a very special one,” said The Avalanches.
As well as these acts, there will be the charismatic and all-round music personality, Latifa Tee, the legendary Nina Las Vegas, and the iconic, vintage synth pop duo Cut Copy.
Sweet Relief! will also be welcoming international groove maestro, YO! Mafia, queer dance crew Pride Patrol and from over the pond from New Zealand, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Ladyhawke.
Local tourism and arts ministers are proudly supporting the event, with Tourism Minister, Stirling Hinchliffe saying that Sweet Relief! marks the much-awaited Brisbane debut for Queensland Music Trails, which staged its first events in Outback Queensland in April.
“The Trails kicked off its uniquely Queensland musical road trip in St George back in April, winding its way to Charleville, Cunnamulla, Tambo, Canungra, Jimbour, and Cape Hillsborough.”
Mark your calendars and prepare for an extraordinary day of pure excitement at Brisbane’s hottest bash, Sweet Relief!, set to ignite the city this September. Stay tuned for more details arriving soon.
