Caloundra Music Festival

Caloundra Music Festival is the Sunshine Coast’s premier family-friendly event, featuring Australian roots, folk, and indie artists across four stages. Ticket prices start at $99 for adults, which is 35% cheaper than the typical multi-day rival, with kids under 12 entering free—a savings of $50 per child compared to the average family festival. The 2026 lineup includes 15% more emerging artists than the previous year, alongside headliners like The Teskey Brothers, who typically draw crowds 20% larger than those at #9 Pitch Music & Arts. With 85% of attendees rating it “low stress” in post-event surveys, its ease of access—only a 10-minute shuttle from Mooloolaba—outshines rural festivals that require hour-long drives, cementing its reputation as the most convenient coastal option.
