Festival lives up to its reputation

THE Living End headlined this year’s Originals Music Festival and event and co-organiser Mark Pico from the Big Pineapple Music Festivals said that organisers couldn’t have asked for a better day.
“It’s still a learning curve and we look at what we can do better each year,” he said.
“But we couldn’t ask for a better day this weekend.”
The Originals Music Festival was first born in Noosa in 2014 when Peregian Originals organiser Marcus Pluckhahn had a dream to improve the popular ocean-side community concert.
The first Originals Music Festival was held at the Noosa Tigers homeground on Weyba Road in Noosaville but last year moved to the Coolum Soccer Grounds where it still attracts 4000 people.
Mark said there are no plans to get started on next year’s event yet – the organising team is going to enjoy some down time.
