The Offbeat Music Festival has released the full line-up for the event, taking place on Saturday 2 November at The Imperial Hotel Eumundi, with more than 20 bands scheduled to perform on five stages throughout the day and into the night.

Festival Organiser Alice Jones says the festival showcases a wealth of great talent guaranteed to get the groove just right.

“We’re thrilled to be welcoming headlining acts from interstate like The Beautiful Girls, Vaudeville Smash and Kallidad, as well as some of Brisbane’s best in bands like Blues Arcadia, Black Rabbit George, Kurilpa Reach and First Beige,” she says.

“Of course the Sunshine Coast has produced so many killer bands too, many of which have huge followings beyond our patch of paradise.”

Alice says local acts featuring on the Offbeat line-up include the one and only OKA, along with amazing performers Ayla, Ruby Gilbert, Fieu, Fragile Animals, Dorah Jacson, Streams, Malia Stirling, Zac Gunthorpe, Tobias, The Crikeys, Alfanant, The Lots, The Rumbrellas, Renny Field and more.

“It’s sensational to have a chance to bring these artists together – and it is going to be hard to decide who to see on the day,” Alice says. “It’ll be a choose-your-own-adventure of fine tunes and good times in the truly unique venue we have here in The Imperial Hotel and Eumundi Brewery”

Alice says the festival promises to be just that.

“A little offbeat, a bit quirky, a little off the beaten track, and a bit of the unexpected!”

“Eumundi as a village, and the Imperial Hotel as a venue, are renowned for seriously great vibes and big doses of creativity – the perfect place for a music festival and an epic day of fun!,” she says.

“Excitement is building and tickets are selling fast, so we’re encouraging music lovers to get their tickets now to avoid disappointment as we are strictly limited with numbers,” Alice says.
