The Slingers Added to the Queenscliff Music Festival Lineup

August 10, 2023

The lineup for this year’s Queenscliff Music Festival has grown again, with the addition of Melbourne-based country rock and pop band, The Slingers. The rising stars will perform at the Victorian festival circuit mainstay this November, alongside an eclectic roster of Australian and international talent.

The remote coastal town of Queenscliff will welcome UK folk-punk favourite Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls, R&B star Aloe Blacc, G Love & Special Sauce and singer-songwriter Foy Vance, plus Dan Sultan, Liz Stringer, Ian Moss, The Dreggs, Ngulmiya, Alice Ivy, Xylouris White, Mindy Meng Wang and Tim Shiel, Jem Cassar-Daley and loads more.

The Slingers – ‘Living in the Age of Loneliness’

The Slingers’ inclusion on the lineup adds to a massive run of live dates for the Melbourne act, which includes a showcase at Brisbane’s BIGSOUND this September, their own headline tour running from August through October and a slot at Victoria’s OK Motels festival in February 2024.

Queenscliff Music Festival has extended its offering this year, and will now take place from Thursday, 23rd to Sunday, 26th November on the lands of the Wadawurrung people on the Bellarine Peninsula. The festival has been running since 1997 – although the 2020 and 2021 events were pulled due to COVID.

Organisers have also announced that Auslan interpreters will be on the main stages across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
