I really thought the first one last year was big! By the looks of it all, it will be even bigger this year, raising over $100K for Variety, the Children's Charity.
The amount of music festivals and stadium concerts that I have been to over the years still makes my eyes water, and my bank balance.
Seeing The Eagles live in Melbourne was massive. Same goes for when Simon and Garfunkel did the huge reunion show down south. I have been lucky enough to watch the Rolling Stones, Pink, Simple Minds, and more because of what I do for work. I even got to chat to the guys from Pearl Jam plus a quick chat with Billy Joel before he went on stage.
I also reckon hanging backstage with INXS was cool, but when you break it down, it has nothing on being right here in Mackay, being the MC this weekend for Mackay's biggest ever festival.
Lee Kernaghan and Tania will be here. Graeme Connors will be playing too. Casey Barnes, Beccy Cole, Gina Jeffreys, Travis Collins, and Brad Cox just to name a few. Do not miss all the fun of music and line dancing too.
One extra thing I am nervous about is being the bloke on the microphone tomorrow morning for a charity breakfast with former Aussie footy legend Mal Meninga. He is here and I cannot wait to hear his stories from the field and off it.
Enjoy the weekend and all the fun, including the Cutters playing on Sunday, hot off the back of two consecutive wins.
You can join Rob Kidd from 5am weekday mornings on 4MK 1026 AM in Mackay and Proserpine, 91.5FM in Airlie Beach or just ask your smart speaker to play 4MK on iHeartRadio!
