Rugged heartland transforms into Australia’s grandest stage when QLD Music Trails: The Outback returns for its fifth year in 2027.
The Outback Trail is more than a festival, it’s an iconic Australian road trip. Trade city skylines for red dirt horizons, dance under a blanket of stars, share meals with locals, and experience performances that stay with you long after the final note.

QMF respectfully acknowledges the Bidjara, Iningai, Koa, Yirendali, Mayi, Malintji, Kuunkari and Kalkadoon Peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands, waters and skies on which The Outback Trail unfolds. We honour their deep and unbroken connection to Country, culture and community, and pay our respects to Elders past and present.
We recognise that music, art and story have echoed across these lands since time immemorial, shaped by generations of knowledge holders whose songs, rhythms and cultural practices continue to influence and inspire the creative landscape experienced throughout The Outback Trail.
