Q: Conditions of entry

Please view conditions of entry here .

Question 1

Ticket Options 2024

Events Manager · Accepted Answer

Discounted tickets and merchandise bundles are now on sale until 31 December 2023. Full price will be applicable from 1 January 2024.

FREE tickets are issued to volunteers who help organise and run the festival, 2 x 4 hours shifts are required for a free ticket and a free festival shirt. Companion cards are accepted for FREE tickets also

Given the high increase in costs to organise such an event, and the demand for live music in Central Queensland, the festival committee decided to minimise the work load on our entire team and not issue any day tickets for 2023 and this will be the case again in 2024. You can decide which favourite artists that you would like to see across the 3 days and 2 sizzling summer stages!

We are focused on providing the best possible event for all attending!
