Queensland is about to be treated to a seriously huge new outdoor music festival site thanks to an entertainment player within the local industry.

Comiskey Group which owns and runs Eatons Hill Hotel and Sandstone Point Hotel purchased the land to make this outdoor music festival site a reality. Dubbed ‘Coochin Fields’ it’s said to be the equivalent of the North Byron Parklands which continues to host Splendour in the Grass.

Those looking for some numbers to crunch can rest easy knowing it’s about 155 hectares or, about 22 football fields.

In terms of location, it’s about an hour and a half from Brisbane or 35 minutes from Maroochydore. Comiskey Group Director Rob Comiskey has said;

“We are ready to take things to the next level, exceed expectations and bring another great entertainment facility to this incredible community.”

He’s also hinted at a large scale camping music festival on the way headlined with some pretty exciting international and local acts.

Comiskey Group entertainment director, Jonathan Jackson added “It is a really impressive site that has so much potential. I am looking forward to showcasing the new space to more promoters, we have already seen incredible interest and I know there will be plenty more! It’s going to be an exciting addition to the region, we can’t wait to bring your favourite musicians closer.”

While we wait for updates be sure to head to the Coochin Fields website for updates.
