Australia’s newest live music festival, SandTunes, has been announced, boasting an absolutely huge debut line-up.

The brand new, beach festival on the Gold Coast will be headlined by Travis Scott and will take place on Coolangatta Beach on November 30 and December 1, marking the US hip hop giant’s only Aussie show for 2019.

Also headlining the inaugural SandTunes line-up – and making their Aus debuts – will be Grammy award-winning LA rapper and the man behind megahit 1-800-273-8255 Logic and Canadian pop singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen, while Chicago talent JUICE WRLD and indie pop outfit CHVRCHES return to the country for the event alongside and a stack of local legends.

Here’s the first 2019 SandTunes line-up announcement in full:

Travis Scott, Logic, JUICE WRLD, Carly Rae Jepsen, CHVRCHES, Dean Lewis, Alice Ivy, Cub Sport, Genesis Owusu, Kaiit, Kian, Kwame, Saint Lane, Sampa The Great, Tkay Maidza, WAAX and more to be announced

The huge new event comes from TEG Dainty Group, who recently toured Eminem, Slash, Phil Collins and more.

“The high calibre of artist is an important part of what makes SandTunes Music Festival so attractive and exclusive to fans,” TEG Dainty founder and CEO Paul Dainty said.

“There will be many unmissable moments; Travis Scott’s only Australian 2019 performance and debut Australian performances for Logic and Carly Rae. We expect fans will travel from far and wide for this fantastic two-day line-up on the sand at one of Australia’s most spectacular beaches. This is a truly unique event not replicated anywhere else!”

Telstra Plus pre-sale kicks off this Friday at 10am before general public tickets are available next Wednesday, July 31, at 12 noon AEST.
