Sunset on the waterfront. Cold drinks. Big tunes.

Featuring:

• R.3.B
• ICARO MUSIC
• Wizz King
• Faux MO
• NPC
• The Midnight Helix

🎧 Plus WHICHWAY spinning between sets and into the after party.

🎤 Hosted by Tessa Devine

Bring the family. Bring your mates. Bring a chair and settle in by the water, or stay late and get amongst it.

Whether you're keen to discover something new, support your favourite artist, enjoy a sunset session with friends, or have a proper Saturday night out, Anchor Drop has you covered.

❤️ THANK YOU, ANCHOR DROP ❤️

What a night.

A massive thank you to every single person who came down and supported local original music at ANCHOR DROP // Autumn Edition. Seeing so many people turn up, connect, dance, listen, and support these artists is exactly why we do this.

To all of the bands and artists who shared their music with us, thank you! The quality of original music coming out of Cairns is second to none, and we're proud to help create a space where it can be celebrated.

A huge thank you to the team at Cairns Cruising Yacht Squadron and Hook and Sail Catering for backing local music and providing such a fantastic venue for the event.

A special thank you to Nathan David Kelly - Photographer, Greg Bolton and Rolly Antilef for filming and photographing the event and helping us capture the atmosphere that makes Anchor Drop what it is.

Thank you to ProNoiz Studio for choosing Anchor Drop as the setting for the pilot episode of their new web series. We're honoured to have been part of it and can't wait to see the finished result.

Events like this don't happen without an incredible crew behind the scenes. Huge thanks to Matt, Nick, Heni, Jack, Tessa, Dilja, Phoebe and Wilma for all the work that went into making the night happen. From artist liaison and ticketing through to production, logistics, setup and pack down, your efforts were felt across every part of the event.

Most importantly, thank you to YOU - the audience. Buying a ticket, bringing your friends, sharing a post, cheering for a band, grabbing a drink, or simply showing up all helps build a stronger future for original music in our region.

Anchor Drop exists because artists, venues, crew, media and audiences all choose to show up and support one another. We don't take that for granted.

📸 We've got hundreds of photos to sort through, so keep an eye out for a proper photo dump later this week.

Next up, we drop again on AUG 15 with a hip hop, reggae and funk-tinged edition of Anchor Drop. We've got another huge lineup of local talent ready to go, and we can't wait to do it all again.

Until then, thank you for believing in local music.
