The Preatures are one of the latest acts to be unveiled for the 2025 Queenscliff Music Festival (QMF) this November.
The reformed indie rock band topped the bill when the festival dropped its second big artist announcement this week, which also included Tex Perkins and Matt Walker, Mama Kin Spender, Ella Hooper, Velvet Trip and iconic Aussie band The Badloves.
The Preatures’ debut album Blue Planet Eyes was released in 2014, with featured single Is This How You Feel? becoming part of the soundtrack of that era.
While they disbanded in 2021, The Preatures returned for a show late last year to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their first album and are currently in the middle of a 15-date national tour.
The big name acts from elsewhere will also be joined by local rock legends Bones & Jones and blues and roots journeymen The Mojo Corner.
Beloved children’s entertainer Peter Coombe will also join Teeny Tiny Stevies as part of the dedicated Kids Stage lineup.
Festival director Claire Stickland said Queenscliff wasn’t just the location of the event, it was the “heartbeat of the festival”.
“This year’s lineup is one of our most exciting yet, a powerful mix of iconic names and fresh discoveries that reflect the spirit and diversity of Queenscliff Music Festival,” Ms Stickland said.
“Every year, we’re reminded of the magic that happens when people gather to share music, stories and summer by the sea and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back for another unforgettable weekend.”
