RAR Band’s Street Takeover

There’s so much on offer at the Airlie Beach Festival of Music this year and for the first time ever, the Band of the 1st Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment (RAR Band) will be delivering electrifying roving performances through the heart of Airlie Beach.
Well-known throughout the region, this dynamic ensemble, inspired by the New Orleans’ street music vibe, will be pumping out funky instrumental covers and signature tunes in short, high-energy sets that are sure to create a festival party conga line.
Catch them as they march down the main street, starting at Magnums at midday on Saturday and Sunday.
Keep an ear out for the band’s 'Pep' ensemble as they will also be popping up at different locations, creating bursts of excitement before moving on to their next stage.
With no vocals needed and a sound powerful enough to fill the streets, each 20-minute set promises to be a colourful, crowd engaging addition to this year's festivities.
