Airlie Beach Festival of Music 2018

The Airlie Beach Festival of Music is going into its sixth year and going strong as it prepares for the 2018 festival. This year's lineup is shaping up to be another amazing event with artists from all over the world coming to perform. The festival will span over 3 days and include acts by 74 bands, taking place November 9 - 11, 2018 in Airlie Beach, Queensland, the main access point to the Whitsunday Islands. The much anticipated festival is quickly becoming one of the most popular boutique music festivals in Australia and is the musical highlight of the year in the Whitsundays, drawing crowds from near and far.

Artists for this year's festival include Smash Mouth, The Church, Killing Heidi, Melbourne Ska Orchestra, Diana Anaid, Ash Grunwald, King Social, Dave Dobbyn, The Hillbilly Goats, Sun Salute, Rav Thomas, Matty Rodgers and more. They will perform among 16 different venues throughout Airlie Beach with the main marquee at the Whitsunday Sailing Club on the foreshore.

Tickets are available in 1 or 3 days passes which will get you into all the shows on the day of your pass. There are also VIP tickets available that include food and alcohol in the main tent and allows you to mingle with sponsors and artists. 

Airlie Beach Festival of Music is fast becoming one of the most popular annual festivals in the Whitsundays. This means that accommodation during the festival dates tends to book up very quickly, as do day tours and overnight tours over the course of the week. Many visitors may choose to stay in Airlie Beach during the music festival itself and then add a Whitsundays tour before or after the weekend. If you are planning to come and enjoy this weekend full of talent and fun, ask your travel expert which tours and accommodation are available to you so you can make the most out of your time in the Whitsundays.
