The Burdekin has been hosting the NQ Fast Track Showcase for over 10 years, and it is currently the only one of its kind being held in Queensland. The event is open to all ages and all talent genres from singers, dancers, bands, comedians, rappers etc.
Thanks to Major Sponsor, Burdekin Motors, Fast Track this year has secured talented Aussie actor and performer, Hugh Sheridan, as their special guest for Fast Track 2025.
Hugh will be part of the Friday evening’s workshop for Fast Track Contestants, and will guest judge and perform at the Final Showcase on Saturday Evening.
The founder of Fast Track Talent, and one of the biggest talent managers in Australia, Christine Collyer, who has been judging Burdekin Fast Track since its inception, loves coming up here.
“After 11 years of coming to the Burdekin to judge Fast Track Talent, we’ve seen the most incredible talent over the years. We’ve had everything from singers to comedians, to dancers and every year there is always someone or a group that absolutely shocks and surprises us,” Christine says.
“We can’t wait to see who is going to shine this year,” says Christine with excitement.
Glenn Arboit, Manager Community Services for Burdekin Shire Council is also thrilled for this year’s event.
“The Fast Track event is unique to the Burdekin Shire, and we look forward to giving local and regional performers an opportunity to perform in front of talent scouts, gain valuable knowledge from professionals and offer once in a lifetime performance opportunities for participants,” Glenn says.
Registrations are now open for the event, which is open to performers of all ages and talents of all genres including singers, dancers, bands, comedians, rappers and more!
