We are super excited and humbled to be spinning some wax at Island Vibe Festival this year!

Yet we are saddened that this will be the last chance to celebrate the goodness that the Island Vibe Family has created over many years.

So get your ticket and come and enjoy some island vibes before the sun sets on this beautiful festival in its current shape!

THE FINAL VIBE // FULL LINEUP

Dear Island Vibe friends and family - it is with great sadness (and many many incredible memories) that we have decided to make Island Vibe 2024 our last event on Minjerribah (Stradbroke Island) for the forsee-able future. There are many reasons for making this decision - from the increasing expenses of creating an event on an island, to the difficulty in communication with the Island’s camping monopoly (Minjerribah Camping) and their decision to close their doors on the Island Vibe weekend. This decision has created a situation where it’s unsustainable to continue past 2024, and so.. this is our last party!! (don’t worry, there are plenty of other accommodation options available, read on dear reader)

If you have been to Island Vibe before, or are considering coming - please join us for our last shake a leg, and enjoy a wildly fun weekend of musical and artistic expression.

We are proud of the inclusive, family friendly event that has evolved on the Island over the last 18 years. We have hosted thousands of wonderful performers, bands, artists and cultural groups from around Australia, the Pacific region and from all parts of the world. We’ve seen a whole generation grow up in front of our eyes - we hope we have inspired you to explore a life of music and creativity.

It has been a very rewarding experience for all the Island Vibe crew and we would like to thank the hospitality of the Quandamooka people and the NSI community for making us feel welcome since 2006.

Ok that’s the bad news out of the way - the good news is our 2024 line up is off the chain, and we want to make this a celebration to remember!
