The Angels are set to rock the Mundubbera Blueberry Festival!

🌟Artist Spotlight 🌟
We are super excited about this announcement 😁
🫐Blueberry Festival Jam Sesh HEADLINER🫐

THE ANGELS 😎🎸👏
As the book The 100 Best Australian Albums highlighted, “The Angels can lay claim to being Australia’s longest-lasting band.” And with the band closing in on their 50th anniversary in 2024, they are embarking on an exciting new era, with the announcement of a brand-new lead singer.
The band’s new front man is a name very familiar to Angels fans. Stepping out from behind the drum kit to take center stage is Nick Norton, who has been a member of the band since 2011.
“Nick is an incredible musician and a great singer and songwriter,” says Angels founding member John Brewster. “He obviously knows the songs like the back of his hand and the fans already know and love him, so he’s the perfect fit. We can’t wait to hit the road.”
Anyone at the recent Brewster Brothers Electric shows, where the band performed Angels rarities with Nick out front, will attest that he’s ready to assume one of the greatest gigs in Australian rock – fronting The Angels, the band responsible for some of the most unforgettable songs in Australian music.

The exhibition by the Eidsvold Community is coordinated by local media business EJ Garrett Pty Ltd. The exhibition is funded by the The National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) for the 2024 NAIDOC celebrations and will be exhibited at the Reginald Murray Williams Australian Bush Learning Centre, Eidsvold, on Wakka Wakka land.
