Turn it up. Live it loud!
Stereo City Nights transforms the Maryborough Showgrounds into a glittering neon-lit playground — a celebration of groove, glitter and good times. As the sun dips, the site comes alive with shimmering lights, disco vibes and a high-energy DJ set pumping out the biggest retro, party and dancefloor anthems beneath the open sky. From disco floor fillers to smooth yacht rock favourites, it’s the ultimate throwback atmosphere — carefree, colourful and completely electric.
Beyond the beats, the experience is a full-sensory celebration. Think ice-cold drinks flowing, incredible local food vendors serving up festival favourites, and music that sparks instant nostalgia. Every track is a memory. Every chorus is a singalong. From feel-good pop bangers to timeless anthems you know word for word, it’s dance-floor magic from the first note to the final encore.
And this isn’t a stand-and-watch kind of night — it’s a dress-up, show-up and glow-up occasion. Sequins, flares, satin shirts, platform boots — go all in. Fancy dress isn’t just encouraged, it’s essential. Rally your crew, bring the energy, and compete for Best Dressed bragging rights as the party rolls on in a swirl of lights, laughter and pure retro madness.
It’s drinks, music, memories and mayhem wrapped into one unforgettable Friday night. Turn it up. Live it loud!
Sing it. Dance it.
Big lights • big energy • big choruses
Yacht Rock Revival is Australia’s premier tribute to the golden era of smooth. This dazzling 8‑piece supergroup delivers an unforgettable night of soft rock nostalgia, faithfully recreating the slick sounds and velvet grooves of the late ’70s and early ’80s. With precision musicianship, rich harmonies, and a world‑class horn section, they celebrate the iconic hits of Toto, Michael McDonald, Christopher Cross, Hall & Oates, Boz Scaggs, The Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, and more.
Dressed to impress in era‑perfect attire and oozing with tongue‑in‑cheek charm, this isn’t just a show — it’s a full‑scale, immersive experience that transports audiences straight to the sun‑soaked decks of the yacht rock era. From sold‑out theatres and major venues to corporate events and headline cruise performances, Yacht Rock Revival has become one of the most in‑demand acts in the country.
Expect tight harmonies, searing sax solos, groove‑laden basslines and infectious energy — then the DJ keeps the party rolling so the vibe never drops. Bigger, bolder and smoother than ever… get ready to set sail.
