THE Queenscliff Music Festival (QMF) has just dropped another batch of Australian music talent into the lineup of the event, to be held in the last weekend of November.

Surfing reggae rock brothers COTERIE, blues and roots bands Bondi Cigars and Checkerboard Lounge, bluegrass tragics draped in Americana gothic The Weeping Willows, Geelong-based videogame and Netflix songwriter Elizabeth Riordan and singer-songwriter Hassall are some of the newly added artists who will showcase their talents on the Queenscliff stages this year.

They join indie pop darlings Charlie Needs Braces and Bella Deer, coastal Victorian folk rockers Jasmin Adria and Maddie Jackway and Grafton’s Joe Terror, dynamic duo Winksy with their unique pop essentialism and vintage revivalism, and powerhouse vocal set The Sweethearts fresh from the group’s latest tour of Europe. The popular Tides of Welcome choir will also make their return to the lineup.

Now in its 26th edition, QMF is the premiere summer music event of the Bellarine with its trademark mix of Aussie music talent, a sprinkling of international acts and emerging local bands.

Glamping sites are in high demand so anyone interested is urged to act now. Camping sites still available at $29 for the weekend, and there are more traditional accommodation options available in Point Lonsdale, Portarlington, Geelong and surrounds.

All ticket categories are now on sale, with the festival also offering Zip Pay.

More acts will be announced closer to the festival.
