Bound Festival Is Your Next Excuse to Enjoy Food, Wine, Music and Wellness in Burleigh Heads 

UPDATE, August 18, 2023: Bound Festival will no longer be going ahead for 2023.

Next time that you hit the beach, Ash Grunwald and Phil Jamieson could provide the soundtrack, wine-fuelled picnics might be on the agenda and brews in a beer hall could await. When you're not tapping your toes, eating and drinking, yoga and meditation sessions might be ensuring that you're as relaxed as possible — all amid the sand, surf and sun of Burleigh Heads.

There's no coulds or mights about any of the above actually accuring at Bound Festival, which will take place from Friday, September 22–Sunday, September 24. The only question? If you're set to soak them in. This three-day event will combine food, wine, music and wellness on the Gold Coast, returning for a second year but under a new name. If the general concept sounds familiar, that's because it happened in 2022 as Burleigh Festival.

The destination again: Justins Park on the Burleigh Heads Foreshore. And, yes, all those bites, sips, tunes and relaxation sessions are setting up shop right by the water once more.

Ash Grunwald, Phil Jamieson, Felivand, Apricot Ink and Golding are all locked in behind the microphone, with additional music acts to be announced, including a headliner to close the main stage's lineup on the Sunday.

If it's the culinary part of the program that has you most excited — other than the setting, which is always a drawcard — Bound Festival hasn't unveiled its vendors as yet; however, the focus is firmly local. Standout Burleigh and Gold Coast eateries will serve up dishes, covering meals considered local specialties and international cuisines. And, the picnic precinct will revolve around cellar doors and serve ample cheese, brews aplenty will be on offer in the beer hall, and non-alcoholic options will get their time to shine as well.

Games and a barbecue spread are also on the agenda — and, as for the wellness activities, they'll score their own dedicated zone. Also featuring: HIIT sessions, plus discussions about finding your bliss. There, too, the full lineup is still to come.
