Parkhurst sits on Rockhampton's northern shoulder, and the first name on this page is a singer who lives right here. The rest of the near list is the city itself, a few minutes south across the Fitzroy, plus a duo at Yeppoon about half an hour east on the coast road. If you have read Gracemere's page you will recognise most of these acts, because both suburbs are drawing from the same Rockhampton pool from opposite sides.
Where Parkhurst differs is that Yeppoon is closer from here, which quietly widens what a beach ceremony can look like.
Top picks are the nearby performers with the most visible reviews, then rating, then the closest; further afield the closest come first, and premium listings break remaining ties. Distances are straight-line from Parkhurst. Ask each act whether they travel to your venue and what that costs.
Broadly yes, and you should expect that. Parkhurst is a few minutes from the city centre, so the country bands, singers and drag performers working Rockhampton are all in easy reach from here and the distances on the cards reflect it. The only real difference is that a Yeppoon act is closer to Parkhurst than to most of the city.
Four hours with lighting is a different quote from two hours of background music, and that gap is wider than most people expect. The DJs sitting in reach of Parkhurst are based further south, so a travel line is fair on those and worth asking about early. The from-prices on this page are what the acts are starting at right now; the date and the hours decide where it lands.
Half an hour on the coast road, so yes, easily, and it's a shorter run than a lot of city acts make for suburban work elsewhere. It also means you can put the ceremony at the beach and the reception on the north side without needing two different acts. Tell them both locations in the enquiry so the gap between them gets priced properly.
From Parkhurst, Yeppoon is a short run rather than a trip, so a Capricorn Coast act is genuinely in range for a north-side event. Worth comparing against a city act before you assume Rockhampton is the only option.
Some north-side halls and clubs have a PA sitting in a cupboard and some have nothing. Find out before you enquire, because an act that can leave half the gear at home will often price the night differently.
The acts at the bottom of this list are Gladstone-based, which is well over an hour south. They're worth an enquiry for something specific you can't get locally, not as a default.
