Youturn It Up! Festival is the brainchild of Sunshine Coast musical brothers and Youturn Youth Support Ambassadors, Sam and Tim Aitken (Sametime).
Originally planned for April 2021, a Covid outbreak caused it to be postponed and rescheduled to June 2021, only for that date to be cancelled once again due to the pandemic.
Now, 12 months later, the brothers have reimagined the original festival concept and have put together an amazing line up of acts to present in a non-stop five hours of high energy music that includes three bands and three DJs.
“We both like to party so we have made sure we have put together a line up and a show that will keep us all partying from start to finish,” Sam said.
Headlining the festival will be the multi-platinum, ARIA-nominated Bombs Away and superstar DJ-producer, Brooke Evers.
The new Bombs Away live show will see Tommy delivering more energy and interaction with exclusive custom remixes, hype vocals and insane stage presence, intertwining club classics with pop culture references, whilst continuing to build on the unforgettable Bombs Away experience that fans have come to know and love.
Brooke Evers has been catching the attention of fans worldwide with her explosive energy, delivering stellar hues of electro-house, open format and old school mash up vibes fused with high-powered visuals and frenzy on the mic.
Joining the line up will be local electro pop punk duo, Sailing in Space, fresh off the release of their first single Like It, Brisbane up-coming DJ MOXYB, EDM Alt Pop outfit Acer Spade and the host band and organisers of the festival, Sametime, who are currently sitting in the ARIA club charts with the Ivan Gough/Jyye remix of their single Get To Know Ya.
“First and foremost,” Tim said, “it’s about having an unbelievably awesome night with crazy good music. But underlying this is our commitment to raising awareness and much needed funds for the charity we are ambassadors for, Youturn Youth Support.”
“Youturn do incredible work here on the coast for local youth experiencing issues such as homelessness and mental health concerns.
“So, come and party with us and have a great time but know that every single penny of profit from this night will go towards helping other young people here on the Sunny Coast doing it tough.”
Youturn It Up Festival would not be possible without the kind support of its sponsors, which include Gold Sponsors McDonalds Sunshine Coast, Advanced Wellness, Aitken Legal and 91.9 SEA FM.
Youturn It Up Festival is a 16+ years event and tickets can be purchased at nightquarter.com.au/concerts or Oztix.
