Queenscliff Music Festival returns to the seaside village of Queenscliff from 28–30 November with three days of salt-air soundtracks, good times, and that festival magic the Bellarine does best. Spread across town, QMF turns heritage halls, hotel lounges and hidden nooks into stages—think the Uniting Church, Bellarine Hotel, Vue Grand, the Maritime Museum Boatshed and more—so the music doesn’t just play, it spills into the streets.
Expect a genre-spanning mix of beloved Australian names alongside the next wave of artists you’ll be bragging about discovering first. From sun-lit afternoons to late-night singalongs, QMF is built for wandering, sampling, and finding new favourites around every corner.
This year also sets sail with a unique twist: intimate performances on the bay in partnership with Searoad Ferries. Jump aboard for stripped-back, 40-minute musical cruises—sweeping views, close-up sets, and a floating vantage point you won’t forget.
