The Doobie Brothers ProfileAfter sold-out events in 2022, 2023 and 2026, Lighthouse Rock festival returns to Burnett Heads, Queensland in October 2027, and organisers have just unveiled an absolutely smashing line-up.
Headlined by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductees The Doobie Brothers, responsible for hits such as Long Train Runnin’, China Grove, Black Water, What a Fool Believes, Takin’ it to the Streets, and more, Lighthouse Rock is the place to be next October.
In addition to the US headliners, the festival contains stacks of Aussie talent. Renowned rocker Jon Stevens, of Noiseworks fame and former INXS frontman, joins the bill alongside a reunited Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons, with Joe Camilleri and Wilbur Wilde taking the stage.
The line-up also stars Hunters & Collectors icon Mark Seymour, American-born, Australian-based singer-songwriter Toni Childs, Heaven (Must Be There) icons Eurogliders, alt-rockers Taxiride, and the high-energy The Abby Skye Band.
Beyond the main stage line-up, Lighthouse Rock will introduce another stage to spotlight local music, starring the Bundy region’s finest up-and-coming artists. The full line-up for the local stage will be confirmed in early 2027.
Lighthouse Rock returns on Saturday, 30 October 2027. Ahead of the festival kicking off, on-site camping will be available from 10 am on Friday, 29 October. Punters will be able to access on-site parking, unpowered sites, toilets, showers, a coffee cart, and a food van.
The Lighthouse Rock members’ early bird tickets will be available from 10 am on Tuesday, 17 November 2026 – register here for access. The general sale opens at 10 am AEST on Thursday, 19 November 2026, via Oztix.
“We are totally pumped to be bringing such a huge act from the USA to Bundy to perform on this all-star stacked bill,” said Lighthouse Presents’ Gavin Hales. He continued, “We’re thrilled to bring Lighthouse Rock back for our 4th event.
“We’ve listened and responded to feedback from previous years and can confirm there’ll be some changes in 2027, including larger food and beverage areas and more experienced staff and community groups to assist [with] faster service and gate entry.
“We have also updated communications on site with state-of-the-art technology, so we won’t miss a beat. Can’t wait to see you all there!”
Following previous successes, Triple M Bundy and Lighthouse Presents will revive their Battle of the Bands competition to find the best new talent to open the festival. Local acts are encouraged to enter – full details will soon be available on the Lighthouse Rock website.
