Queenscliff Music Festival 2025 has added comedy stars, genre-bending DJs and immersive art installations to its already stacked lineup of fun.
Held in Queenscliff, Victoria, from Friday 28 November to Sunday 30 November, the musical lineup of this year’s festival features the likes of The Cat Empire, Thelma Plum, Donavon Frankenreiter, The Waifs, King Stingray, Cosmic Psychos, Little Birdy, Pierce Brothers and more.
The new announcement sees comedy heavyweights Claire Hooper and Lizzy Hoo performing alongside rising comics Nick Schuller, Tess Birch, Ben Searle and Nick Capper.
The festival will be soundtracked by a roster of DJs rounded out by Cool Out Sun DJs, Miss Goldie, Mz Rizk, Fee B Squared, Dangerboots and Rob Major.
Queenscliff’s Kids Program is back once again, with headliners Teeny Tiny Stevies and Peter Coombe joined by Bebop Circus, Giant Seagulls, Guru Dudu’s Silent Disco, Krazy Koala Puppet Show, Marimba Taters, Nicholas Ridiculous’ High Wire and Woody’s World Ukulele.
A host of art collections, immersive installations and animated projections will also be part of the festival, including Playable Streets, presenting Musical Plants and the reflective art of Reflection, Cosmic Wilderness hosting an animated project crafted from local flora and fauna and Yoga with Live Music, which is pretty self-explanatory.
Festival Director Claire Stickland said: “Queenscliff is so much more than just the music, it’s a celebration of community, creativity and connection. This year’s comedy, arts and family program really brings that spirit to life, giving audiences moments of wonder, laughter and pure joy alongside our world-class music lineup.”
