Icehouse, Pete Murray & More Announced On New Queensland Festival

"We can’t wait to celebrate with music, and car enthusiasts in May."

Bribie Island is getting a brand new music festival in May 2020. 

Dubbed Crowd Surf, the event will include ICEHOUSE as headliners, who will be joined by Pete Murray, The Black Sorrows With Vika & Linda Bull, Diesel, Busby Marou, Emily Wurramurra and Tim Freedman

Additionally, the festival will also feature a classic car show with models from the '50s-70s. 


"Sandstone Point is across the bridge from iconic Bribie Island," said organiser Duane McDonald. "The Bribie Island bridge opened in 1963 – before this time, the only way motorists could get onto the island was by ferry. There are photographs from this day that show hundreds of classic cars flocking to the island to enjoy a day in the sun.

"We look forward to reliving this same experience, with an incredible line-up of all-Australian artists. The inaugural Crowd Surf festival will be steeped in nostalgia and backed by the best of the best of Australian music. 

"Sandstone Point have a strong history in supporting great live music and the Crowd Surf festival promises to be an incredible day out for all-ages. We can’t wait to celebrate with music, and car enthusiasts in May."
