The local scene
Straight from the scene.
The people, places and ideas shaping music culture across the Sunshine Coast and Queensland.
YELO follows local artists, independent venues, creative spaces, scene builders, promoters, festivals and the communities keeping live culture moving.
Around the music
What happens between the gigs matters too.
The local scene is bigger than lineups and stage times. It is the venues opening, the rooms closing, the promoters taking a chance, the artists building something new and the communities that keep showing up.
YELO follows the wider world around the music, from grassroots ideas and cultural shifts to regional scenes, creative spaces and the people shaping what happens next.
This is where those stories live.
