Join award-winning children’s band The Vegetable Plot for a fruitastic musical comedy.

Get ready for a freshly sliced serving of musical comedy with Pineapple People, the brand new the live show from multi award-winning beloved Aussie kids band The Vegetable Plot!

Bursting with juicy songs, tropi-cool puppetry and rotten dad jokes, this delightfully zingy concert production is a fruitastic family adventure that’s guaranteed to leave audiences smiling from the inside out.

Now part of the ABC Kids family, with listeners all over the world, multiple international awards, 2 ARIA nominations, 2 theatre shows, an orchestra show, an animated series, and millions of Spotify streams to their name, The Vegetable Plot has grown into that rare thing: a “kids band” that adults enjoy listening to just as much as the kids.

Join them on their mission of Love and Peas!

Please note, Sir Paul McCarrotney is unfortunately unable to join in the fruit-astic fun and Sam Golding (aka Tromboncino) will be sprouting up in his plot.

Meet the Vegetable Plot Cast

Aspara Gus

Gus is our fearless (and sometimes clueless) leader. His deep, earthy voice and rotten puns will make you groan with delight. Gus writes all the songs and remembers most of the words. He is also known as musician/comedian Luke Escombe.

Sir Paul McCarrotney

Of course you all know Sir Paul as the world-famous singer of 60’s band The Beatroots. Hear him sing his hit song “Twist and Sprout” and serve up his funky bass grooves with us. As well as driving the beat, Sir Paul also drives our big green tour bus. He sometimes answers to the name Nick Hoorweg.

Ru Barb

Ru Barb is undoubtedly the sweetest vegetable in this bunch. She loves nothing more than to sing and dance with a room full of little beansprouts. As well as delighting our ear buds, Ru also delights our tastebuds with her wonderful cooking. We sometimes call her Paige Hoorweg.

What's On Sydney

"What really kept me engaged was the sheer level of lyrical intellect and complexity, something that promises to keep the parents entertained while the kids are having a blast. Excellent morals delivered in a wonderful way by passionate people."

Major Minor Music Australia

"There are few joys in this world coupled with the sheer delight of hearing a Vegetable Plot song for the first time. Or the second, third, fourth or fifth time! Their music is nothing short of an absolute marvel and the pinnacle of what it means to write respectful music for children."
