If you’re looking for great music and a laidback atmosphere you’ll find it at Island Vibe, the leading reggae, roots, and cultural festival in the South Pacific. The event will take over North Stradbroke Island from October 29 to 31.
2009 was the event’s biggest year, but 2010 is promising to top it with new additions Kiwi hip hop master King Kapisis, festival favourite Mista Savona, Coloured Stone’s Bunna Lawrie, and our own Mr Percival joining already confirmed starters Ladi 6, Groundation, Paula Fuga, and Rhythm Collision Sound and plenty of other top musicians, cabaret artists, and burlesque performances.
There’s still plenty of accommodation available, but I wouldn’t wait too long before sorting it out. Camping spots are available at Amity Point and Dunwich, although Amity is filling up quickly. Regular bus services will take you from either site to the festival. Call Redlands City Council on 1300 551 253 to reserve your campsite, or if you want something a bit more luxurious check out the holiday homes, apartments, and other accommodation options on the Island Vibe website.
