The festival site is situated a minute's stroll from one of Australia's most incredible swimming beaches, on Australia's second largest sand island - Minjerribah - the homelands of the Quandamooka people.
Now in its 18th year, Island Vibe has been host to a huge array of performers from around the world and the Pacific. We are hard at work in the planning stages to bring an exceptional program together for this year.
What to expect:
3 musical and multi media stages, 2 workshop zones including a kids space, a boutique bar stocking delicious locally brewed beverages, a mouthwatering food court, craft stalls, an expanded art gallery, cultural groups and workshops from Australia, the Pacific Islands and Latin American communities, cabaret artists, shade and comfortable chill spaces to enjoy the action packed program.Island Vibe is welcoming to all ages, from toddlers to elders and is dedicated to creating a safe, friendly and exceptional vibe for all to enjoy.
Island Vibe will feature over 50 acts spanning live world music, reggae, soul and bass music genres. Island Vibe is one of Australia’s longest running boutique beach-side festivals and is unique for its emphasis on reggae, dancehall and world acts, as well as Aboriginal First Nations and Pacific Islander programming.

GETTING THERE ⛴️🚍
There are only 2 companies going to the island: our sponsor SeaLink (vehicle ferry + passenger ferry) and Stradbroke Flyer (water taxi only). Pre-bookings are essential. All ferries from the mainland to the Island leave from Cleveland and arrive in Dunwich (North Stradbroke Island). Stradbroke Flyer is the first terminal and then the SeaLink terminals are after on Emmett Drive, Cleveland.
There are limited ferry passes available - to ensure you and your friends arrive to the festival on time, we recommend booking your ferry passes early. No bookings required for Water Taxi passengers. Carpooling is not only a great way to look after the planet & have fun with your friends, but also to save on money!

THE FESTIVAL SITE 🎪
Once you and your crew have made it to the beautiful main island, you can jump on a bus, follow the signs to Point Lookout, or use maps to journey towards our gorgeous Festival Site, located across from the Bowls Club, at Point Lookout Oval, E Coast Rd, Point Lookout QLD 4183.
CAMP ONLY AT DESIGNATED CAMPGROUNDS
Free camping and van camping has been flagged by local authorities as a deal breaker for Island Vibe. We urge all patrons to seek out the many accommodation options on the island - from holiday houses, hostels, resorts and campgrounds.
Visit the Accommodation page on our website for more information on accommodation options.
NO BEACH FIRES
There is a real danger of a stray spark from a beach fire blowing into the forest and causing a bushfire. This rule isn't to dampen your fun, fires pose a huge risk to the people, animals and infrastructure of Minjerribah.
PUBLIC DRINKING
Please keep any consumption of alcohol to your campsite/accommodation or public bar. Roaming the streets with alcohol will result in fines from the police and reflects poorly on the festival.
PUBLIC NUDITY
We urge all patrons to pack boardies and bikinis for the beach. As tempting as it is to get some sun on the nether regions, there have been repetitive complaints to council over beach nudity. This in turn makes it difficult for Island Vibe to get a council permit, and no permit - equals no fun!
We urge all patrons to abide by the council rules, Emergency Services advice and cultural sensitivities of the island community. Please ensure you have accommodation booked and celebrate responsibly. Thank you!! x
