Queensland Music Festival Unveils Mammoth 20th Anniversary Program

Queensland Music Festival has launched its massive 2019 program. 

The state-wide program for the festival's 20th anniversary will run 5 July through to 28 July and bring "the gift of music to all corners of the state". 

The program features a number of events including Immersion which will see Clea, Asha Jefferies, Sahara Beck, Ben Ely, Emily Wurramara and more all performing secret gigs in hotel rooms around Brisbane. Archie Roach will also perform at The Tivoli with the Tinalley String Quartet and acclaimed actress Sigrid Thornton and her mum, activist Merle Thornton will host an in-conversation with live music from Pink Matter.

Kate Miller-Heidke, fresh from Eurovision, will also join Erkki Veltheim and Paul Grabowsky to perform the music of John Rodgers, while Busby Marou will join Glenn Shorrock, The McClymonts and Travis Collins for the Help Is On Its Way events.

“The 2019 Queensland Music Festival program is a true reflection of the paths the event has walked over its last twenty years,” said Artistic Director Katie Noonan. 

“Queensland Music Festival has always reflected the Queensland of yesterday, today and tomorrow and this year’s event is a true representation of that. It shines a light on things Queenslanders hold dear, hidden stories of our state and gives opportunity for the public to participate.

"Anyone with a voice can sing and using music to engage, educate and inspire is what Queensland Music Festival is about.”
