DREAM ALOUD

The tropics are heating up with Dream Aloud, QLD Music Trails' hottest new festival showcasing a deadly lineup of First Nations talent in the Great Barrier Reef and Cairns (Gimuy) this October.

Dream Aloud bursts onto the Australian music scene in its first year, shining a spotlight on emerging and established First Nations contemporary music, creating a window to the future of music where First Nations narratives take centre stage.

Set against the lush paradise of Great Barrier Reef and Cairns (Gimuy) over a long weekend, Dream Aloud invites locals, holidaymakers and music enthusiasts to celebrate First Nations music and culture.

Featuring an unmissable lineup including ARIA Award-winning rapper Baker Boy, surf rock icons King Stingray, visionary artist Bumpy, hip-hop sensation JK-47, rising star Kee'ahn and homegrown heroes R.3.B with comedian Steph Tisdell on MC duties, Dream Aloud presents the hottest new talent and formidable local bands.

Dream Aloud's youthful energy is made more vibrant by its heartfelt commitment to Indigenous First Nations Heritage reflected in not only the music line up, but also every stallholder, artisan, and food vendor. This combination is unapologetically fresh and amplifies the power of youth culture, rooted in indigenous First Nations cultural legacy.

Don't miss your chance to immerse yourself in the soul-stirring sounds and stories of First Nations music and culture. Join us for an unforgettable journey of dance, connection, and discovery beneath the tropical skies of Great Barrier Reef and Cairns (Gimuy) this October.
