If you thought this year’s Queenscliff Music Festival had concluded with its first artist announcement, we have a pretty common phrase to share: but wait, there’s more.

The Preatures, Tex Perkins & Matt Walker, Ella Hooper, and Velvet Trip are just some of the artists who have joined the already-stacked line-up. They’ll be joined by more alternative, indie, rock, pop, country, and folk artists, such as Mama Kin Spender, The Badloves, Skyscraper Stan & The Commission Flats, Ruby Mae, The Mojo Corner, Romanie, Madeliene Cope, and more.

You can see the line-up (so far) below.

The just-announced acts join an impressive bill that stars headliners The Cat Empire, Thelma Plum, renowned American surf rocker Donavon Frankenreiter, The Waifs, King Stingray, Little Birdy, and Cosmic Psychos.

More acts on the line-up include the Pierce Brothers, Didirri & Rowena Wise, Squid Nebula, Minor Gold, Sex On Toast, Fenn Wilson & The Weather, The Smith & Western Jury, and others. For the kids, Teeny Tiny Stevies will keep the party rolling.

Queenscliff Music Festival returns to its Princess Park site on the last weekend of November, beginning on Friday, 28 November, and wrapping up on Sunday, 30 November.

Ticket prices are set to rise from Tuesday, 1 July, so punters are encouraged to lock in Early Bird tickets now. Three-day adult, three-day accompanied youth, children, and camping tickets are available now via the Queenscliff Music Festival website.

Each year, the beloved event draws 10,000 punters from the local community, Victoria, and interstate. It offers family-friendly Australian live music, food and drink, art experiences, and the creativity of the Queenscliff community.

Festival Director Claire Stickland expressed enthusiasm for this year’s event, describing the line-up as “one of our most exciting yet.”

“Queenscliff isn’t just the location, it’s the heartbeat of the festival,” Stickland said. “This year’s line-up is one of our most exciting yet, a powerful mix of iconic names and fresh discoveries that reflect the spirit and diversity of Queenscliff Music Festival. Every year, we’re reminded of the magic that happens when people gather to share music, stories and summer by the sea, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back for another unforgettable weekend.”
