American singer-songwriter Aloe Blacc and Philly group G Love & Special Sauce will headline this year’s Queenscliff Music Festival alongside Aussie rock legends Something For Kate and indie-rockers Boy & Bear.

Irish sensation Foy Vance also joins the line-up alongside hip-hop star Illy, Cold Chisel guitar hero and solo artist Ian Moss, Geelong-raised soul singer WILSN, recent TheMusic cover artist Full Flower Moon Band, William Crighton, Mindy Meng Wang x Tim Shiel, Jem Cassar-Daley and many more.

Staged on the lands of the Wadawurrung people on the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula, the festival's beach setting and picturesque locations attract music lovers from all over the country looking to soak up the laid-back vibes and eclectic mix of music on offer.
