The Long Sunset 2025

Lose the map, find the music. The Long Sunset returns with a stacked lineup ready to light up the Scenic Rim region. Just over an hour from Brisbane or the Gold Coast, a new basecamp in the heart of Boonah is set up. Headlined by beloved indie heavyweights Boy & Bear and pop powerhouse Vera Blue, this year’s festival brings together a mix of beloved fan favourites, genre-defying acts, and high-energy performers who know how to get the crowd moving. Gretta Ray adds sharp pop hooks and heartfelt songwriting, while The Buoys bring punchy, guitar-driven energy. Jem Cassar-Daley delivers soul and depth, Playlunch crank up the chaos with their signature bogan funk, and Tjaka blend traditional sounds with modern beats. The Vernons keep things bluesy and loud, and Bunny Racket brings the noise for little rockers and their grown-ups. There’s something for everyone — from sunrise yoga and hands-on workshops to roving performers, local food trucks, and plenty more still to be announced. As part of Qld Music Trails: The Scenic Rim, expect live music activations, pop-ups and events happening all around the region. Explore hidden wineries, take a wander through forest trails, soak up quiet country pubs, or find your own secret spot to watch the sun go down.
