It felt like nothing short of a miracle to bring together such a fab line up of music, presenters, stalls and creatives despite the venue challenges we faced. What a joy to be welcomed on Gubbi Gubbi land by Aunty Bev, Leaf Bennet and the Yuaar Werei Dancers. Thank you to everyone who held the vision and supported the event by attending and bringing your fantastic vibes. Thank you for your understanding and helping to co create our own little pocket of wonder. 

All the bands, (some of whom have been with us since the beginning - Kingfisha, Kooii, Chocolate Strings, Spankinhide, Tommy Sexton, Bobby Alu, Paula Boo) thank you so much for creating some epic dancefloor memories and cross collaborations. We could not be prouder to showcase the music you bring to the world.

Moving from the creature comforts of Noosa Northshore to a totally off-grid site at Hangar O, with one week to plan, was incredibly challenging and would have been impossible without the herculean efforts of our site legends Corey Skip and Wayne Tomsett, event Ops queens Neelam Donohue and Caz Cave, the super friendly team at Hangar O, Darren and Sammy and being fed all weekend by the generous sweethearts Aunty Faith and Erin Oui! Love you!! 

Massive thanks also to Chontelle Myers, Josephine Ellis, Gypsy Streiner, Kris Tully Martin and team, Kate B, EFX lighting, Richard Vernon McDiarmid, Ben Crosser, Sharon Brookes, Anua Rose Dane Small and sound bwoi Alex Rotier.

 

We are still on the search for a permanent home for Island Vibe, and this camp out has proven that we can hold that vision strong, with the support of our community.

We look forward to the next episode!

yours in creativity

Andrea and Rudi.
