QMF releases first lineup

IN BIG news for our region and its thriving music scene, the Queenscliff Music Festival have announced the first lineup for their November extravaganza.

The festival, which will take place on Wadawurrung Country from November 25-27, already has Baker Boy, Middle Kids, RVG and Isabella Manfredi on the bill, and they have now been joined by funk dynamo John Butler and Australian blues band The Teskey Brothers.

Other bands announced in the first lineup include Mark Seymour and The Undertow, Vika and Linda and popular Geelong band Bones and Jones.

Outside of the music talent, the festival will also include plenty for the children, with a live Bluey interactive experience being announced as well as the ARIA Award-winning band Teeny Tiny Stevies.

After two years of missed starts due to the pandemic, the festival’s beach setting and picturesque location will be back, attracting music lovers from all over the country as they look to soak up the laid-back vibes and the eclectic mix of music on offer.

The weekend-long celebration will give all the chance to enjoy live music and family friendly activities, all the while enjoying the best craft beers and spirits, fine wines and locally sourced gourmet produce from the region.

Tickets are now on sale to the event with three-day tickets as well as camping and glamping packages ready to be snatched up.
