According to Noosa Heads Jazz Club president Richard Stevens, this year’s Jazz Festival will be a success.
“Although there is a week to go, many of this year’s festival events are sold out. But the good news for visitors and locals who want tickets is that seats are still available for the concert events at The J and Majestic Theatres, including for All That Jazz on Saturday 24 August.”
Live music festivals around Australia have been struggling to remain viable, with many events, including the Caloundra Music Festival, cancelled in 2024.
Richard attributes Noosa’s success to the support of the local community, the hardworking volunteers who contribute their time and expertise to organising, promoting and running the festival, and the support from the Noosa Council, Tourism Noosa and major sponsor Bendigo Community Bank.
“The festival’s success in 2024 creates an opportunity to expand our reach to a wider interstate and International audience in 2025 through targeted marketing and grants,” he said.
The return of the popular joint concerts staged by the Noosa Jazz Club and Noosa Chorale is another factor that has helped underpin the viability of this year’s festival.
“Our events utilise existing infrastructure, the concert theatres in Noosa and Pomona, the restaurant and club venues and ferries, and the Riverstage at Noosaville, avoiding the costs associated with road closures and the need for hiring temporary infrastructure such as tents and toilets,” he said.
