More acts will be announced soon.

QMF prides itself on its family-friendly feel and this year the children will be busy all weekend with a huge range of activities as well as live favorites, Justine Clarke, Zindzi & The Zillionaires and Bananas in Pyjamas live show.

With the expansion of the festival to a four day event, this year Queenscliff will light up one night earlier with Thursday night performances from The Badloves, JAZZPARTY, William Crighton, Leah Senior & more, performing at spaces of the Queenscliff Town Hall, Queenscliff Brewhouse, and Vue Grand Hotel.

The 2023 Queenscliff Music Festival will be held from November 23-26.
