Reece Mastin

Reece Mastin has reinvented his career from teenage pop idol to rock ‘n’ roll young gun, counting Aussie legends like Jimmy Barnes, Diesel and The Living End’s Chris Cheney amongst his supporters.

With two platinum #1 albums, three consecutive chart topping singles and a successful pop career under his belt, Reece has spent the past 5 years proudly earning his place on the Australian rock circuit, proving time and again that raw talent and rock ‘n’ roll are at his core.

With hits such as ‘Shout it Out’, ‘Rockstar’, ‘Goodnight’ and ‘Shut up and Kiss Me’

With new music and 4-pce band in tow, Airlie Beach had better get ready to see this master of reinvention do what he does best – ROCK!

Salt and Steel

Salt and Steel are the two powerhouse rockers, Briony and Elle from the Gold Coast.  They believe that life is meant to be lived to it’s fullest. There are peaks and valleys, but the journey must keep moving on.

Salt and Steel tap into your primal energy with raw, edgy music fusing heavy rock with the earthy and grounded sounds of tribal, blues and roots music.
