A line-up of renowned national and international artists has been announced for Queensland’s festival of the year, the Caloundra Music festival.

The first artists were on Wednesday revealed for the event, which has been running for 15 years and draws fans from throughout the country.

Emerging Melbourne artist WILSN will play alongside other well-known Aussie artists including Busby Marou, Illy, Jack River, Jarryd James, Kasey Chambers, Middle Kids, Sampa the Great, Spiderbait, The Temper Trap, Thirsty Merc and Vera Blue.

More artists will be announced for the family-friendly festival, which will run over three days from September 29 to October 1 at Kings Beach and appeal to a mix of music genres and ages.

The festival footprint is expanding again, with the return of the Surf Stage in Lions Park with a new layout and Kings Club offering. The Funky Forest will also pop up nearby in Lions Park. The Piano Stage is back as well, offering intimate shows with guest artists for Kings Club patrons.

Sunshine Coast Council Councillor Terry Landsberg said the festival provided an unbelievable buzz around Caloundra – recently named Queensland’s Top Tourism Town.

“The Sunshine Coast is one of the most-loved destinations in the world and hosting Caloundra Music Festival offers an unbeatable experience, blending beach vibes and good vibes thanks to the electric line-up of talent each year,” he said.

“The opportunity to see amazing artists each afternoon and evening means the mornings are free to attend attractions like Australia Zoo, explore the Glass House Mountains and more.

“There’s something for everyone here on the Sunshine Coast.”

Early birds can grab all-in weekend passes from 8am, Friday, June 23 at Caloundra Music Festival.

With five stages to fill with live music, there will be more artist announcements soon.

The Caloundra Music Festival is an event initiative of Sunshine Coast Council and supported by the Queensland Government through Tourism and Events Queensland and features on the It’s Live! in Queensland Events Calendar.
