Icehouse Sunnyboys Do Re Mi and Mentals Go Beyond The C

The all-new Beyond The C music festival line-up has just gone on sale with an astonishing 80s Oz Rock mob headlined by Icehouse.

Beyond The C recently announced the reformed Do Re Mi for their first shows since the late 80s will be part of the bill. Deborah Conway and Helen Carter have reformed their influential 80s alt-rock band with an all-female line-up.

Sunnyboys will also perform. They reformed in 2012 after a 21 year break and went on to perform for national audiences including their biggest audience every for A Day On The Green.

Greedy Smith is keeping up the Mental As Anything momentum while his co-founder Martin Plaza battling cancer. The Mentals do have a surprise or two in the show which includes a new Martin Plaza song ‘Get To Kiss’. Martin wrote the song a few years back and Greedy recently added lyrics. Its now part of Mentals setlist as ‘Goat Tracks In My Sandpit’.
