Sunshine Coast artist guide

Looking for Sunshine Coast musicians or a local support act?

YELO helps venues, promoters, touring teams and event organisers discover artists who are active across the Sunshine Coast music scene.

Browse YELO’s artist directory or send through your event details. Where possible, YELO can suggest a small selection of relevant musicians and make an introduction.

Artists, venues and promoters then discuss availability, fees, contracts and performance arrangements directly.

Three ways to start

Find the right route into the local scene

Start with the artist directory, ask YELO for a local shortlist or use the touring guide to plan a Sunshine Coast show.

Start independently

Browse the artist directory

Explore YELO’s editorial guide to selected Sunshine Coast bands, solo artists and music projects currently active in the scene.

When YELO can help

Local scene knowledge without the endless digging

Through gig guides, venue pages, artist stories, playlists and weekly music coverage, YELO follows artists already performing across the Sunshine Coast and South East Queensland.

Touring support slots

Find local artists who may suit the sound, audience and scale of a touring lineup.

Venue programming

Discover artists who may fit pubs, breweries, independent rooms, theatres and community spaces.

Festivals and events

Find local music for festivals, openings, launches, community events and selected private functions.

What to send

Give YELO enough information to make a useful suggestion

Include the confirmed details below rather than sending a general request for any available local band.

Venue and suburb
Confirmed date and time
Music style or reference acts
Event format and audience
Performance length
Available artist budget
Booking agents and artist managers

Need someone to manage the full booking process?

YELO provides artist discovery, local suggestions and introductions. It does not act as a booking agency, negotiate performance contracts or manage artist schedules.

For negotiation, tour coordination, artist management or ongoing venue programming, work directly with an established booking agent, artist manager or independent music professional.

Future industry guide

Sunshine Coast booking and management contacts

YELO is developing a curated guide to local booking, management and music industry professionals. Operators can send their current business name, services and public contact details for editorial consideration.

Local artist enquiry

Important information

YELO is an independent music publication, not a booking agency or artist management company. YELO may provide selected artist suggestions or introductions but does not represent musicians, negotiate performance agreements, confirm availability or guarantee that an artist will accept a booking. Venues, promoters, professional operators and artists are responsible for discussing fees, contracts, insurance, production requirements and all other arrangements directly.
