Hey everyone! Nath J here. I’m so excited that the Airlie Beach Festival of Music is back for 2023, and it will surely be better than ever.
This four-day event will be held from 9th – 12th November in beautiful Airlie Beach, in the Whitsundays.
From 5-star resorts to budget-friendly backpackers and camping at beautiful caravan parks, there’s something for everyone regarding Airlie Beach accommodation during the festival – but you’d better book early as spots fill up quickly!
The free-flowing festival will have a main stage on the water’s edge and more than 50 bands playing across 15 venues. They’ve got some amazing headliners, including music industry legends Ross Wilson, King Stingray, Dragon, Billy Field and Chocolate Starfish, joined by Ian Moss, Frenzal Romb and The Superjesus. Plus emerging talent like Pierce Brothers and Lucy Gallant, plus 2022 Passport to Airlie winners Perry Street Park.
If you’re into Aussie rock then you won’t want to miss out on seeing Ross Wilson & The Peaceniks perform their classic hits celebrating 50 years of Eagle Rock, or hearing ’90s anthems from Australian band Dragon who is known for hits like ‘April Sun in Cuba’, ‘Are You Old Enough’, ‘Still In Love With You’ and ‘Rain’. And if punk is your thing then don’t miss out on catching Frenzal Rhomb guitarist Lindsay McDougall who has always dreamt of coming to The Whitsundays! Skunkhour will also be fusing indie rock with soul funk hip hop vibes bringing fresh EP ‘Parts of Sun’ along with them.
Plus there’ll be powerhouses Chocolate Starfish delivering captivating shows packed with intensity; contemporary artist King Stingray whose songs connect home and family; plus Billy Field who never lets a genre define him with his award winning catalogue full of hits like ‘Bad Habits’.

Hi, I’m Nath J, a long-time local who’s been lucky enough to live and work tourism in the Whitsundays since 2001.
Over the past two decades, I’ve helped visitors discover the best of this incredible region, from Whitehaven Beach and Hill Inlet to the hidden spots only locals know about. I started out managing boats and tours, and these days I run Ripple Effect Online, a tourism-focused digital marketing business helping local operators grow and connect with travellers like you.
I’ve written an ebook called Whitsunday Islands: A Journey through Paradise, created countless local travel guides, and earned recognition as a “Whitsundays Tourism Hero” from QTIC for my contribution to the region and gained First Nations Cultural Protocol training through QTIC as well. But more importantly, I’ve spent years listening to travellers, understanding what makes a trip unforgettable, and helping people plan the kind of experience they’ll talk about for years.
If you’re planning a visit to Whitehaven Beach or anywhere in the Whitsundays, I’m here to help you make it amazing.
