QLD Music Trails – The Outback
24/04/2026 to 09/05/2026
Queensland’s rugged heartland transforms into Australia’s grandest stage when QLD Music Trails: The Outback returns for its fourth year. From Charleville to Mount Isa, this one-of-a-kind self-drive adventure blends live music, unforgettable landscapes, and the warmth of country communities into a journey like no other.
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 will stay with you long after the final note.
The journey culminates in Outback Sounds at Mount Isa, the Trail’s pinnacle open-air music festival, headlined by none other than Kaylee Bell, 2023 CMA Global Artist of the Year, and The Wolfe Brothers, Australia’s most awarded country rock duo.
Guiding audiences along the way are Trail Ambassadors Taylor Moss and Tori Darke, sharing their passion for country music and Outback culture at every stop.
