The much-anticipated Offbeat Music Festival has announced new artists on a revised line-up, which promises to blow the minds of fans who have been missing quality live music.

Rolling Blacks Coastal Fever and Emma Donovan & The Putbacks are among artists who are set to take the stage later this month at the Eumundi festival, which promised to be “a little offbeat, a bit quirky, a little off the beaten track, and a bit of the unexpected.”

Festival Organiser Alice Jones said there were some great additions to the festival.

“After all we’ve been through lately, in fact, because of all we have been through lately, we are even more excited to be bringing this dream line-up to Eumundi for Offbeat 2022,” she said.

“While we couldn’t keep 100 per cent of the original line up, we are stoked that the majority of artists are in for the new date and we have a couple of absolutely killer additions to the bill.”

“We are beyond excited to announce Emma Donovan & The Putbacks will be joining the line-up.”

“With a slew of awards under her belt, not one, but two new albums, Emma has a deep soul voice that will transport you to another time and place.”

Guitar-pop five-piece Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever will be among the big acts at the festival. Picture: Instagram @offbeatmusicfestivaleumundi.

“And we know the Offbeat crowd is going to love Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, renowned for bringing a psychedelic water colour wash over the best charcoal rock ‘n’ roll – guitar-driven, with harmonies that hark back to the best 60s LA sound.”

Also set to feature is Dear Doonan, a six-piece hailing from the points of Noosa, with an energetic live show symbiotic with an eclectic world sound.

Their genre is a melting pot of Turkish, Indian and African influences and instrumentation, fused with psychedelic music stylings from the 1970s.

The festival will take place across two stages at the Imperial Hotel on March 26.

The festival is supported by Restart investment to Sustain and Expand Fund (RISE) – an Australian Government initiative.

The Offbeat Music Festival will be held at the Imperial Hotel in Eumundi on March 26, from midday until late. For tickets and more event details head to Off Beat Music Festival.
