A word from RNA

The Royal National Agricultural and Industrial Association of Queensland is delighted to develop a partnership with Billy Hyde Music through Urban Upbeat at EkkA.

The Royal Queensland Show (EkkA) is easily Queenslands’ biggest and most anticipated event every year. It has a 132 year tradition of bringing the best agricultural exhibitors to the city to combine with a great entertainment programme to create a celebration of all that is Queensland.

Exposure in this environment offers participants an experience unparalleled in Queensland. It is anticipated that through this partnership young musicians will gain experiences beyond just those that are musical, offering them a personal stake in the tradition that is the EkkA.
