Escape the ordinary and dive into the ultimate music holiday! The Airlie Beach Festival of Music, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Great Barrier Reef, unveils its complete and sensational lineup for 2025, promising an experience that's truly more than a festival, more than a holiday.

Joining the already stellar roster of Australian legends, including Jessica Mauboy, The Screaming Jets, Choirboys, Diesel, The Black Sorrows, and Bachelor Girl, are even more outstanding original artists. Bringing the Airlie Beach Festival of Music total line up to over 60 acts.
Newly announced acts include Aussie favourite Pete Murray, back with his full band after a sold-out solo tour, delivering his trademark acoustic-rock sound.
Tex Perkins joins forces with Matt Walker to perform classics and new co-writes, fresh from The Cruel Sea’s 30th anniversary tour.
Festival favourites Matty Rogers and David Flower also return, bringing their soulful blues-rock and genre-blending indie-folk to the stage.
Also joining the lineup are 2014 Passport to Airlie winners The Natural Culture, Tanya George, bluesman Zed Charles, Canadian country artist Bear Brewer, and Jackson Dunn, bringing the total to 60+ artists across 15 stages in a full town music takeover.
