The countdown is officially over the Airlie Beach Festival of Music is set to transform Airlie Beach into Australia’s most spectacular music playground. With venues across town polishing their stages and the Main Tent standing proudly against the Coral Sea, anticipation for the four-day music extravaganza is reaching fever pitch.
This year’s lineup features a phenomenal mix of Australian legends, powerhouse performers, and exciting new talent, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Whitsundays.
The Passport to Airlie Finals with up-and-coming acts from 9 regions around Australia, plus last year’s winner Tom Neilson kick off Friday night, followed by Pete Murray and The Screaming Jets who are set to deliver a massive punch of rock and roots.
Saturday is dominated by Australian rock royalty with an unmissable evening featuring Diesel, Choirboys, Tex Perkins & Matt Walker, and the pop brilliance of Bachelor Girl.
The Main Tent closes on Sunday with the incredible vocal power of Jessica Mauboy followed by the blues mastery of The Black Sorrows and country rock icon, Jayne Denham.
Beyond the Main Tent, over 60 acts, including blues legends like blues legend Lloyd Spiegel, festival favourite David Flower Band and high-energy bands like Viva Band, will be taking over 15 venues from Thursday night’s Welcome Party through to the Monday Afterparty.
Festival Founder, Gavin Butlin, emphasises that the town is ready for the takeover.
"The energy this year is palpable. The whole community—from our venues and accommodation partners to our local residents—is geared up to host the best festival yet. If you haven't secured your ticket, now is your last chance. Grab your pass and prepare for the ultimate music holiday!”
Check to see if tickets are still available. Festival-goers are strongly encouraged to download the final schedule and plot their musical journey across the venues before arriving in paradise.
