Hit the road for the QLD Music Trails

A star-studded lineup of Australian Music Artists has been announced to headline the 2024 Outback Trail, a celebration of iconic Aussie music produced by Queensland Music Festival. The Outback Trail will run for nine event-filled days set amongst the raw natural beauty of rural Queensland from the 13th to the 21st of April.

The lineup includes Country music superstar Troy Cassar-Daley, Something For Kate frontman Paul Dempsey, and Australian indie band, Ball Park Music, who will lead the Outback music festival, alongside an impressive collection of local and emerging artists from across the country.

The Outback Trail really is an unmissable, authentic celebration of Australian music and I can’t wait to be a part of it. Outback Queensland has a special place in my heart and I can’t wait to be a part of music coming to life with local communities on Country,” said Cassar-Daley.

The 2024 Outback Trail begins in Goondiwindi and trails through Nindigully, Charlotte Plains, Quilpie, Tambo, Charleville and finishes off in Roma, with the event taking over local pubs, hotels and streets with a variety of music, food and culture.

“This year’s Outback Trail is the first time we’re delivering this many events. Across seven regional townsthroughout Queensland, and with high profile artists – it really is going bigger than ever before. The Trail will have twice the impact on the Queensland arts/music industry as years before, supporting over 145 local artists and artworkers, including 46 First Nations artists,” Daryl Raven, acting CEO of QMF

The Outback Trail is set to be a musical experience for all music lovers to enjoy with everything from boot-shaking singalongs to emotionally entrenched performances that will take all attendees on an “unforgettable journey” across rural Queensland. Each trail is a unique journey, weaving together the musical performances, the natural beauty of the Outback landscape, First Nations cultural experiences, and the warm hospitality of local communities. There are a range of options for Trail-goers who “can choose their own adventure” across the seven locations, with individual tickets available for each event.
