Take a roadtrip north and set up camp on the water’s edge for four days of fresh air and live tunes this long weekend. Perched beside the ocean on the Sunshine Coast, the Caloundra Music Festival will see a great line-up of musical acts blasting across five stages at Kings Beach Park and the nearby Lions Park. Running from Friday October 3 to Monday October 6, the festival program will even give you a chance to take a dip in the big blue before the gates open around midday each day.

Navigate your way past the Ferris wheel, photobooth and merchandise stalls to find the likes of John Butler, Pete Murray, Tina Arena, Wolfmother, Baby Animals, Megan Washington, The Beautiful Girls, Ball Park Music, Stonefield, Thirsty Merc and many more performing live on stage. If you’ve got little music lovers in tow, head to the Funky Forest where you’ll find a jumping castle, obstacle course, face painting and a bunch of interactive shows and workshops.
