Few bands capture the feeling of an Australian summer quite like Thirsty Merc, and this November they’re bringing that sunshine straight to the Gold Coast. The 20 Good Regions Tour sees the band criss-crossing the country, from capital cities to country towns, and Miami Marketta is one of the stops on the map.
Expect a set built for singing along. Fronted by Rai Thistlethwayte, the band has spent more than twenty years turning out radio favourites, and they’re all on the menu: “20 Good Reasons”, “Someday, Someday”, “Mousetrap Heart”, “The Good Life”, “Tommy and Krista”, and “In The Summertime”, which you’ll know from the opening of Bondi Rescue. It’s polished, high-energy rock with the hooks to match, played by musicians who know exactly how to work a crowd.
Bring your mates, grab a bite from the Marketta’s street food line-up, and settle in for a night of the songs that have soundtracked countless road trips and backyard barbecues.
Tickets are available now through Oztix.
