Let’s Take This Crown! Airlie Beach Festival of Music Nominated for Festival of the Year

Airlie Beach Festival of Music has done it again - nominated for Festival of the Year at the Queensland Music Awards!  Last year, they turned Airlie into a full-throttle music mecca, pulling in over 10,000 partygoers and pumping almost $5 million into the local economy.  From the chaos of Passport to Airlie, to costumes, cocktails and a killer lineup, the team proved once again why this festival is Queensland’s ultimate live music showdown.
Now it’s time to bring the trophy home!  Public voting is open and organisers are calling on music lovers, past festivalgoers and anyone who’s heard the bass bounce off the Coral Sea to make their voices heard.
“This festival is more than just a weekend of music - it’s an experience, a vibe, a place where unforgettable moments happen,” said Event Director, Gavin Butlin (aka Butto).
“We’re calling on every person who’s ever danced, partied, or rocked out at Airlie Beach Festival of Music to help us take this title!”
The Queensland Music Awards are on 25th March and voting closes 18th February. Those who vote even have the chance at Winning a BIGSOUND Festival Pass for you and a mate! SO, GET VOTING NOW at: www.qmusic.com.au/pca/vote
