Expect energetic performances featuring backflips, wild drum solos, and a tight rhythm section. Their original tunes blend world beats with loving lyrics, showcasing a variety of instruments including piano, bass, percussion, flute, guitar, and drums—all played simultaneously.

With four full albums aired on numerous global radio stations, this family band is a must-see. Keeping the family spirit alive, this trio delivers world beat originals, electrifying performances, and friendly competition for the drum kit. Prepare to be entertained!

CARAVÃNA SUN

Since 2011, Sydneysiders CARAVÃNA SUN have built a renowned worldwide reputation for their dynamic and energetic live performances. Their infectious grooves which merge their surfy coastal lifestyle with elements of explosive rock, euphoric electronica/dance and rambunctious reggae/ska have earned the band slots on some of the world’s most coveted stages, including Bluesfest Byron Bay.

Their new single ‘Hearts Awake’. An uplifting summer anthem about embracing the hard times and coming out triumphant. The band have been experimenting with electronics sounds and have spent most of last year touring and playing festivals worldwide – with their sound falling deeper into euro dance space, perfect for the Great Barrier Reef Festival.

NOSTALGIA

Catch a snippet of Airlie’s brand new cabaret show Nostalgia on the at Hotel Reef Festival stage! Expect a high-energy, theatrical spectacular blending dance, acrobatics, comedy, and iconic music from the 60s through the 2000s.

This special family-friendly rendition of the show will include novelty acts and sizzling acrobatics and dynamic dance acts that push the boundaries of cabaret and circus performance.
