The ever-popular Queenscliff Music Festival returns to the picturesque Victorian town this November with another incredibly strong line-up.
Across the final weekend in November, artists from home and abroad will turn Queenscliff into one of the best sounding towns on the planet.
In fact, the festival's ongoing popularity and stacked 2023 line-up has convinced organisers to get the party started early, with a special Thursday night of performances locked in to get everyone warmed up for a big weekend in the right way.
Leading the line-up for 2023 is American modern soul favourite Aloe Blacc, who returns to Australia for the first time since the very start of 2019. He's largely been off the road for the past few years so will be raring to go come QMF time.
Australian alt-rock royalty Something For Kate require no introduction. If it's been a while since you saw them, we promise you they're every bit as good as ever.
Same goes for the great Boy & Bear whose recently released self-titled fifth album saw them change course slightly but retain everything that has made them so captivating.
The rest of the local line-up so far is absolutely stacked, featuring a broad line-up genuine heavy-hitters like Illy, Dan Sultan, Liz Stringer, Ian Moss, Ngulmiya, Alice Ivy, Xylouris White, Mindy Meng Wang x Tim Shiel, Jem Cassar-Daley, Felipe Baldomir, Leah Senior and many more.
On the international front, a couple of familiar voices return to our shores for the Queenscliff festival.
Masters of bluesy hip hop G Love & Special Sauce returns for their first Australian tour in over eight years, and Irish troubadour Foy Vance will remind us why people like Elton John and Ed Sheeran are so damn besotted by his work.
And we'd be remiss to not mention that this very family-friendly event will also feature some dynamite headliners for the young'uns, with Justine Clarke, Bananas In Pyjamas and Double J favourite Zindzi & The Zillionaires all on board too.
Here's the line-up as it stands:
Aloe Blacc, Something For Kate, Boy & Bear, Illy, G. Love & Special Sauce, Dan Sultan, Liz Stringer, Ian Moss, Foy Vance, The Dreggs, Ngulmiya, Alice Ivy, Xylouris White, Mindy Meng Wang x Tim Shiel, Jem Cassar-Daley, Felipe Baldomir, Leah Senior, JAZZPARTY, William Crighton, WILSN, BEANS, Full Flower Moon Band, The Badloves, Willie J & The Bad Books, Eils & The Drip, Emily Barker, Frank Sultana Blues Machine, Justine Clarke, Zindi & The Zillionaires, Bananas in Pyjamas
