By The Pier lineup revealed

The sister event to last weekend’s Queenscliff Music Festival has just announced the lineup for its March 2023 edition.

Thelma Plum, SAFIA, Holy Holy, King Stingray and Slowly Slowly will headline By The Pier as part of a bill packed full of Australian music goodness.

The festival will run across the last weekend of March on the Queenscliff foreshore.

Offering a more intimate experience than its elder sister Queenscliff Music Festival, By The Pier is a single outdoor stage festival giving punters the chance to pick their spot and kick back to enjoy a vibrant three days of sensational sounds, gourmet food trucks, bars, a DJ tent, and a beach just next door.

Thelma Plum has been making music her whole life and has told one chapter with her debut album Better in Blak a story about culture, heritage, love, and pain.

With incredible strength, courage and heartbreaking tenderness, her debut album captures so deftly what it is like to be a young Aboriginal woman in Australia.

 

The album became one of the most successful albums of 2019, nominated for seven ARIAs and spawning three Platinum and one Gold singles

First formed in 2012, SAFIA shot to public attention after winning the triple j Unearthed Groovin The Moo competition, and gained international attention with breakout single “Listen to Soul, Listen to Blues”.

The band followed it up with “Counting Sheep”, which has since amassed a cult following – most recently in China where it has amassed over 300 million streams.

Their debut album Internal shot to #2 on the ARIA chart in 2016 and includes Gold singles “Make Them Wheels Roll” and “Embracing Me”.
