The Sugar Bowl was a hive of activity last week as Rumble on the Reef took over the skate park for a week of world-class skating.
After a massive action-packed series of events, the Championships all came down to the Bowl Finals on Friday night and the Street finals Saturday, with incredibly talented skaters of all ages showing what they’re made of
There was something for everyone at Rhythm and the Reef on Saturday, with the diverse line-up filling the dancefloor no matter who was on stage. The day kicked off with local indie rockers Nortica, Uruguay native Felipe Baldomir and soulful surf folk courtesy of Jack Botts, setting the vibe of the afternoon perfectly.
Rapper Ivan Ooze then started the party as the sun dipped behind the clouds, before Touch Sensitive, Running Touch, Godlands, Shockone and Moss all filled the dance floor into the night with a selection of house, rap, drum and bass, and everything in between.
The new location on the riverfront at Bluewater Quay provided a convenient, central venue for punters and perfectly utilised what the Mackay CBD has to offer. Only in its second year, it’s exciting to think of how Rhythm and The Reef will grow in the future.
