AMPED UP – Youth Initiative

AMPED UP is more than just a music event – it’s a movement.
Created to empower young people across Mackay, the Whitsundays, Bowen and Isaac Regions, this initiative uses the power of live performance to build confidence, connection and wellbeing.
Born from a passion for suicide prevention and youth mental health, AMPED UP provides a safe and supportive platform for young performers to take the stage, showcase their talents, and gain valuable real-world experience.
Whether you’re here to cheer on local youth artists or simply enjoy a day of live music and community spirit, AMPED UP is a celebration of creativity, resilience and the next generation of talent.
Free entry – all are welcome. Come along, show your support, and be part of the movement.
