Coaster 2011

Some people give linen and silk on their fourth anniversary, others give fruit and flowers, this year however Coaster are going above and beyond by presenting punters with a gift basket full of the best local talent, picked fresh from musical trees around the country.

They are taking a leaf out of the sustainable movement handbook and shopping locally, folks!.

In 2011 Coaster is cooking up delights from the growing sounds we found in our own backyard with an all-Australian line up. Some of Oz's best live bands have been hand picked including festival favourites John Butler Trio, Jebediah, Drapht and Tim and Jean.

Everyone's favourite Melbourne rockers Little Red are also onboard; as are Gold Fields; Sydney's The Potbelleez, Bag Raiders, Tonite Only, and Andy Bull.

Not to be forgotten, Brisbane is offering up Queensland's next big things Ball Park Music.

Coaster 2011

Central Coast heroes Something With Numbers hit the stage to play their first show in two years and only show for 2011, with fellow Coast locals, One Dollar Short coming out of hibernation, after calling an indefinite hiatus back in 2005.

These two bands alone are turning Coaster 2011 into a welcome home party of epic proportions.

After an unforgettable debut last year, Tomorrow Land returns with a collection of talent such as Ajax, sexy DJ’ing minx Nina Las Vegas, Tom Piper, Naysayer and Gilsun, Wolfpack, Purple Sneakers DJ’s and more to ensure lots of calories are burnt on the dance floor.
