Icehouse To Headline First Crowd Surf Festival

Icehouse will headline Duane McDonald’s new music festival Crowd Surf at Bribie Island in May 2020.

Duane McDonald is the legend behind One Electric Day and Red Hot Summer. The Crowd Surf Festival will add to the A-list of Australian festivals using Australian music acts.

Crowd Surf also features Pete Murray, The Black Sorrows with Vika & Linda Bull, Diesel, Busby Marou, Tim Freedman and Emily Wurramara. It will also come with its own Classic Surf Car Show featuring vehicles from the 50s, 60s and 70s.

“Sandstone Point is across the bridge from iconic Bribie Island,” Duane says. “The Bribie Island bridge opened in 1963 – before this time, the only way motorists could get onto the island was by ferry. There are photographs from this day that show hundreds of classic cars flocking to the island to enjoy a day in the sun. We look forward to reliving this same experience, with an incredible line-up of all-Australian artists. The inaugural CROWD SURF festival will be steeped in nostalgia and backed by the best of the best of Australian music. Sandstone Point have a strong history in supporting great live music and the CROWD SURF festival promises to be an incredible day out for all-ages. We can’t wait to celebrate with music, and car enthusiasts in May.”

Tickets go on sale at 9am on Thursday 21st November 2019 via Ticketmaster. Tickets are only available through authorised ticket outlets listed. Patrons are advised not to purchase tickets from Viagogo or other Third-Party Sellers, as fraudulent tickets will not be honoured.
