The Noosa Alive! festival will continue to entertain and delight audiences over this weekend as it has done for the past week through performance, song, theatre, literature and food with Noosa Woods the place to be this weekend.
Singer, songwriter, performer and artist, Kate Ceberano will headline at Alive in the Woods, an eight-hour show of music and entertainment hosted by Damien Anthony Avery-Rossi on Saturday 29 July.
In 2023 Kate celebrates 40 years and 30 albums in one of the most enduring and inspirational careers in Australian music.
Kate’s 11 platinum albums, 10 Top 10 singles and countless awards speak for themselves. But it’s over 8000 performances on every concert, theatre and festival stage in the country that her unassailable distinction was forged.
With her record-breaking run with John Farnham in Jesus Christ Superstar circa ’92, her hit TV show of the mid ‘90s, her 2014 induction into the Songwriters’ Hall of Fame, or her Top 5 album of 2021, Sweet Inspiration, Kate was a force of nature from day one.
Noosa Stars Alive! will also feature at the event, showcasing the talents of Sunshine Coast youth aged eight-18 in a battle for first place.
Finalists will take to the stage on Saturday in Noosa Woods with the finals to be hosted by Damien Anthony Avery-Rossi (aka Mr. Hollywood in Oz), with special guest judge Rhonda Burchmore.
For the final act of the festival in Noosa Woods on 30 July join a lineup of acts including sensational singing siblings Vika and Linda Bull who have enchanted Australian music fans for the past three decades with their effervescent performance and effortless harmonies.
Also performing on Sunday will be award-winning jazz vocalist Emma Pask, singer-songwriter Rob Edwards who combines the moving melodies of jazz, blues and R&B with the powerful art of storytelling and energetic funk/fusion band Ampersand.
Today (Friday 28 July) guests will enjoy sold out events beginning with breakfast with Dr Norman Swan, author of So you want to live younger longer, at Noosa Springs, Golf and Spa Resort while this evening guests will dine at Noosa Waterfront Restaurant while listening to media personality Damien Anthony Avery-Rossi in conversation with Rhonda Burchmore as she revisits special moments from her illustrious 35-year ‘showbiz’ career.
This 21st anniversary Noosa Alive! has brought a sensational range of items to the shire and its appreciation has been shown by the enthusiasm of guests and the number of events sold out.
The festival began a week ago with Queensland Ballet showcasing its talented Jette Parker Young Artists who performed two world premieres – Tartan, choreographed by Paul Boyd and Tchaikovsky Mash choreographed by Matthew Lawrence.
Through the week audiences have been entertained under the tent on Main Beach at Seaside Vibes Music Festival and Tenori Opera Under the Stars.
They have enjoyed delicious meals prepared by local restaurants and local producers, experienced performances from a wide range of musicians and singers, watched jaw-dropping feats of strength and precision from Cirque Bon Bon Encore and heard from a group of notable authors.
Don’t miss the final days of the festival this weekend.
