An electrifying live performer. The voice of a generation – you can join Kate Ceberano as she performs all the hits along with songs from her latest ARIA Top 5 album Sweet Inspiration at the Horizon Festival, from August 26 to September 4.

You’ll find Aussie legends like Kate Ceberano, and Steven Oliver, alongside a world-class kids program, with Spiegeltent shows and a free family program each day in the gardens. Play School’s Justine Clarke, will have the kids singing and dancing to her classics and new hits, while comedy sketch show Holy Bin Amoley! will educate, while causing side-splitting laughter.

She fronted the seminal band I’m Talking on the epic Australian Made tour alongside INXS and Barnesy & Divinyls. Kate starred in JC Superstar with Farnham, hosted her own hit TV show Kate & Friends, won Dancing With The Stars, was the first Australian woman inducted into the ASA Hall of Fame (Australian Songwriters Association), and she’s part of the pantheon of acts who have had Top 10 albums across five decades.

More about Horizon Festival

Sunshine Coast Council Arts Portfolio Councillor Rick Baberowski said Wonderland Spiegeltent’s arrival, with its lavish billowing curtains and deep red opulence, had sent a ripple of excitement through the community.

“Horizon Festival is certainly set to provide the cultural outlet everyone has been searching for in the wake of the previous year’s COVID lockdowns,” Mr Baberowski said.

“And although the festival hub is in the Cotton Tree parkland, Horizon Festival will actually span 25 event locations across the Sunshine Coast, providing an eclectic mix of live music, theatre, visual art, comedy and more which will showcase the region and its artists to best effect.

“Over 10 days and nights, the fabulous line up of acts and events will also provide a much welcomed economic boost across the region.

“Hotels are booking, restaurants are filling and savvy businesses are reaping the benefits of the patrons being able to see the festival in person.”
