We help communities unlock the power of music.

 

Queensland Music Festival (QMF) is a pioneering music and cultural tourism agency dedicated to harnessing the transformative power of music to build stronger communities and a brighter future.

Since 1999, we’ve worked with artists, communities, and partners to create iconic music experiences across Queensland’s vast and diverse landscape. Today, through our flagship program Queensland Music Trails, QMF curates world-class music and arts experiences in some of the most breathtaking and unexpected locations in the state.

As a not-for-profit, our purpose is simple yet powerful: to connect people through music. We believe music can do more than entertain — it can shift perceptions, spark pride of place, support local economies, and strengthen cultural identity.
