Hardcore bands are coming in hot to the Sunshine Coast’s live music capital with Brisbane five-piece ZUKO the latest to stir up crowds at Black Box Theatre in Nambour.
The region’s heartland, just 15 minutes inland from Maroochydore, has become a heavy music epicentre in recent times. Huge names and international acts are packing out the multi-arts facility at The Old Ambo on Howard Street almost weekly.
