From rehearsal room to main stage, The Next Wave showcases the next generation of original musicians from the Cairns region.

Presented by Enter Stage Right, this artist development initiative culminates in a special performance at Cairns Festival, with emerging artists taking over the Esplanade Main Stage on the Festival's final night for an unforgettable celebration of local original music.

With Headliner Miss Tee Ketu Band to take us through to the end. Hailing from Cairns, this dynamic 8-piece band is fronted by Te Iria “Miss Tee” Ketu, a seasoned performer with over 25 years of live stage experience and more than 15 years performing with bands and as a solo artist.

Led by Miss Tee’s powerful vocals, guitar, and commanding stage presence, the band delivers a polished live show grounded in original music, soulful storytelling, and strong musicality.

With experience across festivals, corporate events, and major live stages, the group brings together accomplished local musicians to create a vibrant, high-energy performance that reflects the strength and diversity of Cairns’ live music scene.
