Maroochy Music & Vis Arts Festival 2016

Overview

There's never a bad time to head to the Sunny Coast; however if you're after more than just a trip to the beach, then September 10 is looking extra enticing. That's when the Maroochy Music & Vis Arts Festival takes over Old Horton Park Golf Course for 2016 with a lineup that can only be described as epic.

Headlining the sonic side of the bill is Matt Corby and Peking Duck, with the likes of Allday, George Maple, Client Liaison, City Calm Down, Ngaiire, Boo Seeka, Bad//Dreems, Vera Blue and Pop Cult also adding plenty of tunes to the day-long party. Local acts Batz, The Francis Wolves, Christian Patey, Inigo, Mark Lowndes, Forevr, Alice Ivy, Juju Bom, Chris Flaskas and Sommer Rd will be strutting their stuff too, ensuring that your melody-seeking ears and toe-tapping feet will be happy — and so will your art-loving eyes.

On that side of the equation, expect Amanda Parer, Bertie Blackman, Gus, Michael Black, Wintercroft and Wayne McFetridge to break out everything from installations to street art in displays of creativity of the visual arts kind. And if all that doesn't inspire you to head north for some fun, knowing that there'll be a chilled crowd should. Yep, like Meredith down south, Maroochy Music & Vis Arts Festival has a strict 'No Dickheads' policy.
