Monster List of Music Festivals in Australia!

Music festivals - especially the multiple-day camp-out variety - are practically a right of passage for vibe-friendly Aussies. And it's no wonder, as getting a ticket, catching a glimpse of leading national and international performers, and surviving the festival frenzy is (in many cases) a heck of a modern-day challenge. With the bulk of festivals occurring on the east coast, and in the more weather-friendly spring and summer months, it's worth keeping on top of the festival game before those tantalising headline rumours and staggered line-up announcements overwhelm with decisions, decisions, decisions: which festival to go to, what about just a satellite show?

See here for the bankable spring/summer round-about of regular music festivals across Australia, and here for the autumn/winter party starters.

Have a look below for upcoming big gigs near you, plus here for more live music and dance events.
