Beach Music will have you dancing under the stars with a stellar line-up of entertainment lighting up the stage from 6pm with FOUNDER. Headlining the night will be the explosive KINGSWOOD, providing a mix of punchy rock to slower, storytelling moments supported by high-energy trio ALCHAMUNK a local Mackay band and the iconic CHRIS BAKER BAND who plays across a multitude of genres.
New in 2026 will be STUNNING aerial performances by the incredibly talented Kara Enigma. If you can’t believe your eyes the first time you see her, we’ve got you covered with a second performance.
🍻 The Reef Bar will be serving cold drinks right on the foreshore and Whitsunday Foodservice Eat Street returns with a mouth-watering range of food stalls to keep you fuelled all night long.
Live Music Lineup
KINGSWOOD
Kingswood bring a full-throttle blend of modern country-rock and heartland grit — built for open air stages and big festival moments. Expect driving guitars, huge hooks, and a sound that hits with equal parts swagger and soul.
This is music made for late afternoon build-ups into night-time singalongs — raw, road-worn, and designed to move a crowd. From punchy rock energy to slower, storytelling moments, their set doesn’t sit still for long. It’s loud, alive, and made to be felt as much as heard.
ALCHEMUNK
Alchemunk bring a fresh, sophisticated take on funk straight out of Mackay, carrying a distinctly youthful energy that cuts through every stage they step on. Built around tight, groove-driven musicianship, they blend classic pocket funk with modern polish — the kind of sound that locks a crowd in from the first note.
Their live shows are all about movement: rhythmic precision, rich vocal layers, and infectious chemistry that turns any space into a dance floor. Outdoors, they really come alive — lifting festival crowds with a set that feels both technically sharp and effortlessly fun.
CHRIS BAKER BAND
Tonwsville born singer songwriter grew up playing guitar from an early age. With many influences from John Williamson, Eagles, ACDC to Gary Moore, Metallica and Guns N Roses, over years Chris has expanded across a multitude of genres and performs covers and original songs.
FOUNDER
Founder is an upcoming 4 piece indie pop band based out of Mackay. Their sound is both unique and familiar at the same time and are a great addition to any playlist.
For those who haven’t heard them before, you’re in for a very special night!
