This electrifying event will transform the Sunshine Coast’s cultural scene with a power-packed lineup of iconic artists, interactive workshops, and a show-stopping ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The Event: A jam-packed day filled with free festivities from 10 AM to 2:45 PM, culminating in an exclusive ticketed Twilight Concert featuring the Hoodoo Gurus alongside alternative rock legends Magic Dirt.
The Highlight: At 2:45 PM, Hoodoo Gurus will swap guitars for scissors as they lead the Official Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony, joined by the Sunshine Coast Mayor, political leaders, celebrities, and a glittering lineup of star guests.

…and many more surprises to come!
“This isn’t just an opening; it’s a movement,” said Dan Nebe, founder of Team Musicare. “With Hoodoo Gurus at the forefront, backed by an army of industry legends, we’re creating a moment that embodies everything Musicare stands for: inclusion, creativity, and the transformative power of music.”
The launch of Team Musicare Sunshine Coast isn’t just a celebration—it’s the start of a revolutionary chapter in employment training, Youth Justice programs, and inclusive opportunities for NDIS participants. This groundbreaking initiative will pave the way for a future where creativity and inclusivity are at the forefront.
“This program is destined to become the benchmark for similar initiatives across the country,” said Nebe. “We’re not just setting the stage for incredible music experiences—we’re shaping a blueprint for inclusive employment, personal growth, and community engagement.”
From humble beginnings in 2020, Team Musicare has grown from a single participant attending a 3-hour weekly session to an organisation with over 30 staff and 170 weekly participants in Redcliffe, QLD. What’s more remarkable? This entire project is 100% privately funded, with not a single cent from grants, government funding, or stimulus packages.
“It doesn’t get more grassroots than this,” Nebe said. “We started with nothing but a passion for music and a vision for inclusivity. Today, we’re proving that with hard work, community support, and innovation, you can create something extraordinary.”
The launch of Team Musicare Sunshine Coast promises to be a cultural game-changer. Located at The Station, Birtinya, the new hub boasts various state-of-the-art creative spaces, offering everything from Creative Industry Training, One-On-One Community Participation, Group Sessions, Youth Justice Programs and much more.
This expansion solidifies Team Musicare’s partnership with The Station and the commitment to empowering individuals through music and creativity while setting the benchmark for similar programs across Australia.
