Queenscliff Music Festival 2025 just got a hell of a lot bigger, with organisers dropping a spectacular third artist lineup.
Taking over multiple venues in Queenscliff, Victoria, home to the Wadawurrung, the Queenscliff Music Festival takes place in the seaside township from Friday 28 November to Sunday 30 November.
Having already announced The Cat Empire, Thelma Plum, Donavon Frankenreiter, The Waifs, King Stingray, Cosmic Psychos, Little Birdy, Pierce Brothers, Didirri + Rowena Wis and many more, the latest round of artists features a smorgasbord of rising talents.
Music lovers who head along to Queenscliff can discover folk artist Ally Row, Naarm/Melbourne-based alt-indie artist Kit Genesis, blues-inspired firebrand Otis Namrell Band, politically charged punk act Public Figures and Spanish-Australian contemporary soul of Emilia Fol.
Over 15 new Aussie artists now make up the bill, including future folk acts Ruby McKenna and Kook Joey, who are perfomring as part of an exciting partnership between Queenscliff Music Festival and Port Fairy Folk Festival.

This year sees the introduction of a new floating festival venue, the Princess Peninsula Ferry. Operating in partnership with Searoad Ferries, six intimate performances will be conducted on a ferry turned music venue, offering punters an experience like no other at the festival.
“Queenscliff Music Festival has always been about musical discovery and unexpected connection,” said Festival Director Claire Stickland.
“Whether it’s a breakthrough artist you’ve never heard before or watching a set unfold on a boat in the middle of the bay, these are the moments that stay with people, and they are the unforgettable moments that makes Queenscliff a truly extraordinary festival.”
Queenscliff Music Festival 2025 takes place from Friday 28 November to Sunday 30 November across the seaside town of Queenscliff. For full ticketing details, visit qmf.net.au.
