The Grass Is Greener in Cairns

What an event!! Although the beautiful city of Cairns put on a blistering hot day, the local and international artists were given an even warmer welcome.

Graace, The Veronicas’, Mallrat and Amy Shark were among this years’ highlights with Choomba and Teleena setting the bar high from the beginning of the day, nothing the likes of The Aston Shuffle couldn’t live up to on the second stage. It was Golden Features and Tyga that really ripped everyone into a frenzy as night fell and the temperatures dropped.

Entry for 15 years and over made for a very diverse crowd ranging from three or more generation groups with happiness and patience a consistent theme for the day. A big shout out to the heap of dads that took their kids, heaps cooler than the obligatory weekend outing to McDonalds. 

Free water refill stations and sunscreen were available at both of stages set up to accommodate all the international and local acts. 

Food stalls were set up in two locations which helped minimise wait times and maximised availability with wood fired pizza, burgers, chips, Asian and Greek specialties. Apex had the traditional sausage sanga available and big shout out to #nathanshotdogs, which had the biggest line up. Frozen cocktails were the popular drinks for many in the heat, the well set out bars were also loaded with variety.

A big thank you to the community of Cairns for the hospitality and to the organisers of TGIG for an amazing event, including all the volunteers from St Johns Ambulance in the first aid tent and the Headspace crew.

Looking forward to the return of The Grass is Greener in 2020!
