Every year, an everyday family go on a beach holiday. This isn’t just any beach – it’s Magic Beach, where everything you can imagine becomes real. But this year is different. As the eldest child begins to grow up, does she have to leave the magic behind?

Alison Lester AM’s classic book comes to life on stage in a wonderful world of text, song, light, shadow and movement for children aged 3-8 and their adults.

From the team behind The Gruffalo and The 13-, 26-, 52-, 78- and 91-Storey Treehouses, this new Australian adaptation from multi-award winning playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer is a celebration of the power of the imagination and the differences that make every child special.

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body.

Headlining Air Beats in November, Sheppard boasts over three million listeners per month on Spotify, over 740 million streams across all platforms and a handful of #1’s and Top Ten hits in countries around the world, Brisbane’s Sheppard have already achieved more than most bands could dream of in their lifetime.

As the band — now a core three-piece of founding members and siblings George, Amy and Emma Sheppard — prepare to release their third album later in the year, they’re sounding more assured and effortless than ever, building anticipation as they drip-feed their irresistible, big-hearted pop in the form of one track per month. “I think more than ever, we are really confident in our sound,” says Amy.

Overcoming the immense pressure that follows a global smash, Sheppard went on to have their music picked up for syncing by various TV stations, shows and films including ESPN, Good Morning America, and most recently, the trailer for the Disney/Pixar film Onwards. Second album Watching the Sky debuted at no. 1 on the ARIA charts in 2018, collected another ARIA nomination and spawned the hit ‘Coming Home’ , while Sheppard’s overseas fan base remains as passionate as ever; 2019’s single ‘Die Young’ was #2 on the Netherlands airplay charts for weeks.

Sheppard are not a band that’s just handed a song — they write all their own music and pride themselves on being involved in every step of the creative process. Their dream ascent is the result of nothing other than talent, dedication, and damn hard work.

Supporting Sheppard is Hayley Marsten, Chris Bax Trio, Jason O’Hara, Jack & Jacinta, Smiley n Wayno Duo, Thomo & Wal Duo, Nathan Bedford and Chris Schofield.

Gladstone Regional Council is well-equipped to ensure the concert is not only fun, but safe too!

Remember when you were 16, and Dr Hook songs were all over the radio?!

Some of you will recall these songs and may not have heard them for many decades. But if you walk right in to the Hooked show, with those “Sexy Eyes”, you’ll know only “Girls Can Get It” and most likely will want a “Little Bit More” as you’ll be “Up On The Mountain…Makin’ It Big” singing along and having fun with the fantastic music of Dr Hook and the Medicine Show.

You will want to be on the “Cover of the Rolling Stone” while “Sharin’ the Night Together” with “Sylvia’s Mother”, coz she’s the “Sweetest of All”. And when your “Baby Makes Her Blue Jeans Talk”, send her out to the “Jungle to the Zoo”, and if “You Make My Pants Wanna Get Up N’ Dance”, don’t leave it “Years From Now” – pick up the phone and book yourself a seat – you’ll never know … “Roland the Roadie” could be there!

So “When You’re In Love With a Beautiful Woman”, don’t let the “Millionaire” get in first as there won’t be “Better Love Next Time Baby!” Let’s make it “More Like the Movies” as the guys from Hooked take you back in time to Dr Hook’s fantastic – CRAZY – entertaining antics from the days of old!

Don’t miss this fun, mixed-up show coz – “You’ll Be Stoned” and you’ll “Miss It”!
