Holding the opening night at HOTA was AJB’s goal & with the talented group of performers, musicians, dancers, DJ’s that AJB has put together – the result is a two-hour explosive night of the songs. Based around The Blue Light Discos from our school days, WHTTD takes you on a journey through the arrival of ‘disco’ music in a period where rock and & country music prevailed. WHTTD follows the ‘disco’ journey thru the seventies & early eighties, including the famous burning of ‘disco’ records thru to the emergence of pop and dance music. All the hits are included from Madonna, Kylie, Whitney, Bros, Rick Astley, Abba, New Order, Cher & many more. Dust of the disco flares, step into your platforms and head to WHTTD where audience participation is essential. Opening Act Groove Dr B I have worked with many artists over my career - Groove Dr B is NOT your typical musician. He is a master chef, cooking up a gumbo of Southern Fried Boogie, Soul Infused Blues with a side dish of good ol’ Aussie Garage Band Rock. Just as soul segued into funk, then to disco, Groove Dr B’s musical gumbo will whet your appetite for the WHTTD feast!! Music has no limitations, and neither does Groove Doctor Bob. Whether performing as a duo or leading a full band, his passion for authentic, groove-driven music leaves audiences VIP Package Inclusions: - Entry from 6.15pm- Meet n Greet with Artist- Photo opportunity- T-shirt- Tote Bag

Tijuana Cartel - Bumblebee Tour
Tiijuana comes back on stage, revealing some new tracks from their upcoming release, Bumblebee. Tijuana Cartel fuse hypnotic electronica with flamenco guitar, Middle Eastern grooves, and trumpet lines from another dimension —crafting a genre-defying sound that’s unmistakably their own. Based in the Byron Bay region, the band is driven by guitarist Paul George and producer/keyboardist Carey O’Sullivan, with percussionist Sheila Finke and Trumpet player Tristan Rogers. Drawing from a diverse range of genre influences—from melodic tech and organic house to punchy midtempo and broken beat—their sound incorporates bass, layered soundscapes, rolling percussion, live horn, and, of course, that guitar. Longtime festival favourites in Australia and abroad, they’ve built a loyal following with sets that feel equally at home on the big stage or at boutique gatherings. Tijuana Cartel deliver an immersive sonic journey, matched with hand-crafted, custom animated visuals—easily the most unique thing you’ll see all weekend.

Akmal - Live - Currumbin
Akmal returns after a spiritual journey to India to find himself. Unfortunately, when he got there, he couldn't see himself anywhere, after all India is a big place. On his return to Australia, he was pleased to discover he had been here the entire time. This has absolutely nothing to do with his upcoming show, and he's sorry he mentioned it. Stand-up, movies, sketch, TV appearances, radio DJ, talk show host and a published author, Akmal is one of Australia's most respected, successful and accomplished comics. Lightning quick and a master of unscripted comedy gold, Akmal has an incredible ability to deal with hot topics in a hilarious and slightly offensive way. As Seen on Thank God You're Here, Have You Been Paying Attention?, Just For Laughs and the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala. The age rating 15+ No babes in arms permitted.
