The 2009 Queenscliff Music Festival ….where the music meets the sea.
27 – 28 – 29 – November 2009
Victoria’s Queenscliff Music Festival launches their 2009 program headlined by international reggae superstars The Original Wailers,
Australian-made legend Tim Finn and the chart topping, Little Birdy. The Festival has become famous for the diversity of its programming and
09 will not disappoint with performances from Marcia Hines, Chilean virtuoso Nano Stern, the dirty swampy New Orleans sound of Chris
Jagger’s Atcha, the seductive and shockingly original Bertie Blackman, soul rocker Dan Sultan, Whitley, Ed Kuepper The Kowalski
Collective, Melbourne power popsters Even, The Melbourne Symphony Chamber Players add a classic edge to the festival this year and at the
other end of the spectrum is this years special concert Tribute to The Rolling Stones – these as well as many more fantastic acts will entertain
the crowds across the last weekend in November (27-29).
With its sweeping views of Swan Bay and old world streetscape, this 19th century seaside town hosts over 200 performances from across
Australia and the globe for its thirteenth year. Queenscliff is located in a world heritage listed site, and the music is played across a gorgeous
range of venues from circus marquees, grand Victorian ballrooms, intimate church spaces and spilling out into the street.
Queenscliff Music Festival prides itself on the depth and breadth of their program with a line up which is truly cross-generational; this is the
festival where both older and young types get into the groove, where the music reaches music lovers of all ages. Dubbed one of Australia’s
great Festival experiences, it’s a “don’t miss” event on the calendar, combining the best in music experience with a relaxed, cruisey coastal feel.
The Festival’s national appeal was recently recognised with a nomination for the prestigious Helpmann Award for Best Contemporary Music
Festival in Australia for the 2008 Festival, which sold out of Big Weekend tickets. This year’s Festival looks to be heading for a sell out with the
Early bird ticket allocation snapped up in record time. The “Big Weekend” package is now on sale and moving fast. It includes the exclusive
Friday night entertainment around the Fishnets precinct as well as the weekend entertainment offered to regular festival goers on the
Essential Weekender Tickets.
There are several ticket packages available from the Festival website at www.qmf.net.au or visit Moshtix direct at www.moshtix.com.au
which also includes where to buy from MoshTix stores, or by phone 1300 GET TIX (438 849).
