MonoNeon Set to Stun at Blues on Broadbeach
The Memphis musician gracing the stage at this year’s festival is MonoNeon – a funk futurist re-wiring the bass from the inside out; neon bright, microtonal, impossible to ignore. Born and raised in Memphis and forged on the internet’s wild frontier, he turned viral experiments into a global following before stepping onstage and into studios with Prince, Ne-Yo, Mac Miller and Jacob Collier. He’s grown into a cultural force whose sound, look and fearless approach are reshaping modern bass culture.
MonoNeon will light up Kurrawa Park stage from 7pm on Saturday 16th May. Don’t miss your chance to experience some Memphis magic!
