5 Reasons To Start Thinking About Caloundra Music Festival

So you’ve been in down in dumps for a while after missing out on Splendour tickets and you’re wondering what will fill that festival shaped hole in your heart. Well wonder no more because Caloundra music festival has the cure for you blues and is ready to jump right into your heart. Here are the reasons why...

It’ll Be Much Much Warmer

We’ve all been feeling the shift from pleasingly cool weather to arctic death nightmare and the situation will not be any better in July. Why deal with frozen tootsies in an icicle ridden tent when you could wait a few months and lap up that golden spring weather on a coast named after sunshine.

It’s Pretty Much Like Mini Splendour

Talking line up wise you got some pretty hard hitters crossin’ over from both festivals. You got your Meg Mac, Thundamentels, San Cisco as well the delightful addition of Angus and Julia Stone and Xavier Rudd. You won’t even miss international acts.

 It’ll Be Less Triple J, More Gold FM

Don’t get us wrong, there’s plenty of Triple J love coming from the line up but the addition of artists like Kate Cebrano and The Badloves the average punter will be a bit more chiller. Put it this way, they’ll be less girls in crocheted halter tops and indie bindi’s trying to talk to you about how Vishna showed them the path to clarity. They’ll also be less boys having a competition to see whose moustache is twirlier.

Mo’ Cash Less Problems

This one’s simple, you missed out on a Splendour ticket so you buy one for Caloundra and boom! You’ve saved yourself a cool 150 bucks! Just think how many overpriced mixed drinks that can buy!

Swim Your Life Away

Surf in is the tag line for this festival so you know there will be some serious wave catching going on. The sunny coast has some of the best beaches our fair state has to offer and there is nothing like that fresh morning swim feeling.
