Fans of beachside beats rejoice – the Caloundra Music Festival is back for its 15th year of stellar acts and good vibes. From September 30 to October 2, the Kings Beach Amphitheatre will come alive with three stages and ten hours of live music each day. Headline acts include Art vs Science, Baker Boy, Ben Lee, Client Liaison, Coterie, Felivand, Missy Higgins, The Presets, The Regime, The Rolling Stones Revue (featuring Adalita, Sarah McLeod and Tim Rogers), Skunkhour, Vaudeville Smash and The Waifs.

Established in 2007 as a one-day event, this grassroots community festival has continued to grow. While border restrictions have hindered both performers and punters over the past few years, 2022 brings a breath of fresh air and interstate artists can travel to Queensland with ease. One-day tickets start at $92 for adults, though we recommend making a weekend of it and going all-in with a three-day pass.
