| 7pm | 8:30pm | Busby Marou - Back on the Tools (Acoustic Tour) |
BUSBY MAROU – BACK ON THE TOOLS (ACOUSTIC TOUR) "We’ve never played Ellis Beach, but after two years off the road, it’s exactly the kind of place we want to be — tropical, intimate, and unforgettable. This acoustic show celebrates 20 years of Busby Marou, and we’ll be sharing favourites, stories, and a few new songs before album six lands." After a couple of years off the road, Busby Marou are back on the tools, bringing their acoustic guitars and trademark harmonies to some of their favourite spots for a special run of intimate shows. This tour is a celebration of 20 years of Busby Marou - two decades of friendship, songwriting, touring, and unforgettable moments on and off the stage. With a new album on the way and plenty of memories to look back on, Tom and Jeremy are hitting the road to reconnect with the people and places that have been part of the journey. They’re also getting ready to mark 15 years since the release of their debut self-titled album in 2026, so fans can expect to hear a bunch of songs from that first record, plus all the classics, and maybe even a new tune or two. With new stories to tell and a whole lot to celebrate, this will be Busby Marou like you’ve always loved them - raw, unplugged, and straight from the heart. | Ellis Beach Bar and Grill | https://www.entertainmentcairns.com/ellis-beach-bar-grill | [email protected] | Free Event, Live Entertainment | Jesse McClelland | [email protected] | 40553534 | ||||
