Queensland's Scenic Rim is set to play host to a brand new live music event, brought to you from the minds that curated the annual QLD Music Trails.

The Long Sunset will head to Canungra just outside the Gold Coast for a day of tunes and good times next February, with a lineup of all-local legends set to take part.

“It can sometimes be difficult to capture or define Queensland’s cultural identity, but it's undeniable that the unique character of our landscape is at its heart," explained project CEO Joel Edmondson.

“Bringing world-class music to stunning places in regional Queensland is our passion because it’s one of the best ways to immerse visitors in what Queensland is all about. We are thrilled to debut The Long Sunset, an event that is sure to become an iconic, annual feature of the Queensland Music Trails in the years to come.”

Artists joining the event will include indie rockers Ball Park Music, dream popster Hatchie, psychedelic quartet The Babe Rainbow, and iconic folk duo Angus & Julia Stone - who will perform in the state together for the first time in three years.

“It’s been a really long time since Angus and I have had the chance to make our way up to Queensland to perform together,” the sister Stone explained.
