Sticky F inger s at Caloundra festival

The popular beachside Caloundra Music Festival will have a distinctive Rolling Stones flavour when it returns on 1-3 October.

This year’s festival will feature Ball Park Music, Sneaky Sound System, Spiderbait and The Stones’ Sticky Fingers starring Adalita, Phil Jamieson and Tim Rogers with Baker Boy, Ben Lee, Gyroscope, Katchafire, San Cisco, The Badloves, The Superjesus and The Whitlams also ready to rock.

On Sunday 3 October the festival will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of The Rolling Stones’ album Sticky Fingers with Adalita (Magic Dirt), Phil Jamieson (Grinspoon) and Tim Rogers ( You Am I) bringing the songs to life.

The event kicks off on Friday with Spiderbait taking to the main stage while Indie pop-band San Cisco are an exciting late addition to the Friday lineup, returning to CMF to share their new album before heading off on the next stage of their national tour. The Saturday line-up features artists from the 2021 Queensland Music Awards (QMA) including finalists Thelma Plum and WAAX, plus winner of the Folk / Singer Songwriter Award, Jaguar Jonze and Album of the Year winners Ball Park Music. With four festival stages providing back-to-back entertainment over three days, Sunshine Coast performers will also get their share of the platform this year with more than 30 local bands on the bill.
