Like A Rolling Stone

Some folks are born, made to wave the flag! And those folks are Late for Woodstock, the tribute band bringing the 60s and 70s to The Airlie Beach Hotel in two June afternoon shows.

On Saturday June 11, the boys will play the best songs ever written from an era never to be forgotten.

They’ll rock out with tunes from The Doors, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Neil Young, The Kinks, Santana, The Rolling Stones, Doobie Brothers, Rodriguez, Bob Dylan and many more in a beautiful tribute to these classic artists

On Sunday June 12, they’ll bring in ‘The Creedence Clearwater Revival and Jimi Hendrix Tribute Show’.

A tribute band like no other, there’ll be guitar licks a-plenty when this tribute band turn the Airlie Beach Hotel’s bar top stage into a Watchtower.

Late for Woodstock formed in May 1998 in Noosa Heads, and this Queensland quadruple have been rocking with the authentic sounds of the era they love ever since.

It was an astronomical rise for the bunch, who quickly became one of the Sunshine Coast’s favourite bands playing “the music they grew up with”.

As the years raced by, the band continued to age gracefully, and will be riding all the way down Green River to arrive at everyone’s favourite local in June.

The four-piece rock group have Wrote A Song For Everyone, having fine-tuned a collection of Creedence Clearwater Revival and Jimi Hendrix classics for live performances.

Late for Woodstock have always been “students and fans” of Creedence and Hendrix – both of whom appeared at the original Woodstock Festival.

There’s sure to be a Commotion when they roll through the doors to play the night way. The band have been learning Creedence and Hendrix hits as part of their repertoire for decades – and its not a show to be missed.

While the times are indeed a-changin’, the music of the 60s and 70s is as good as ever and will bring The Pub to life once again on that June afternoon.

Late for Woodstock, playing with their notorious joy and enthusiasm, will embrace the Creedence and Hendrix oeuvre with open arms, giving it a level of grit and authenticity that reeks of the good ole days.

They’ll be performing these very special and free sessions for Airlie Beach Hotel on June 11 and 12 – from 2pm to 5.30pm both days - it’s just Up Around The Bend, so make sure you’re booking your seats for a meal and a show.
