| 6:00pm | Katchafire @ Ellis Beach Bar & Grill |
Cairns / Ellis Beach Show - Early Bird $65 | Online $70+bf | General Admission $80. New Zealands’s Katchafire are teaming up with Hawaii’s Mike Love for their 2026 Australian Tour dates, along with a collaboration on their ‘Sensimillia’ single for the Revival 2.0 Guest Edition album. Mike will open each show with his own solo set, a powerful one-man-band performance built entirely live. Armed with guitar, keyboard, melodica and a pedalboard loaded with loopers, he layers bass lines, beatboxed rhythms and harmonies in real time, with nothing pre-recorded. His sound reaches beyond roots reggae too - folding in rock, soul, blues, folk and hip hop into what he calls his own "revolutionary consciousness music." | Ellis Beach Bar and Grill | https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/katchafire-wmike-love-revival-world-tour-tickets-1994661265540?fbclid=IwY2xjawTc4qJwZG9mAWV4dG4DYWVtAjEwAGJyaWQRMURjazVtbmZXN2d0MmxIb3pzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeOQt3P0LgcGwaXL7nfFmC0nypvP6pGZIji6S8HD3M3is6osQQbfmASa3G_Io_aem_ylAmOeAezzNO_3b-QztFZw | [email protected] | Live Entertainment, Major Event | Jesse McClelland | [email protected] | 40553534 |
