THIS year’s Queenscliff Music Festival (QMF) has dropped its first lineup, with the popular event to be held over four days in November.

The premiere music event on the Bellarine Peninsula, the multi-award winning festival will be a celebration of live music, family-friendly activities, locally sourced gourmet produce, fine drinks and more.

International artists who will perform for the 25th edition of QMF include soulful Grammy Award nominated hit maker Aloe Blacc and his signature affirmative vibes, G Love & Special Sauce bringing their laid back hip-hop blues, and Irish sensation Foy Vance.
