Fans of great music and good vibes, get excited because Missy Higgins, the Baby Animals, The Church, Kate Miller-Heidke and The Cat Empire are amongst the phenomenal line-up headed to the Sunshine Coast for this year’s Caloundra Music Festival from October 4-7.

Festival Director Richie Eyles said the 2019 festival program would have broad appeal including top Australian acts, exciting emerging artists and quality internationals.

“We always try to curate a line-up to please a range of musical pallets from our Australian headliners like Missy Higgins and The Cat Empire, to our international guests like Turkuaz and Prince’s New Power Generation”.

Australia’s own 2019 Eurovision contestant Kate Miller-Heidke will grace the stage with her operatic, angelic voice and supported by a string quartet.

Continuing to celebrate their 30th Anniversary, The Church will be returning to Australia from a year-long tour across the USA and Europe to enjoy our beautiful Sunshine Coast.
