Missy Higgins will captivate with her timeless, ARIA-winning catalogue, including Scar, The Special Two and Steer, while The Living End promise a surge of punk-rock energy, performing classics like Prisoner of Society and Roll On. Pete Murray returns with his smooth, soulful hits such as Better Days and So Beautiful, following the success of his chart-topping 2025 album Longing.

Rounding out the lineup, Sunshine and Disco Faith Choir will bring feel-good grooves, rising star RAGEFLOWER injects a fresh voice, alt-rock outfit Selve—led by Jabirr Jabirr artist Loki Liddle—delivers raw energy, and local talent Elly Poletti, fresh from The Voice, adds a homegrown spark.

But Ocean Sounds is more than its lineup. It’s a slow, sun-soaked celebration: friends and family sprawled on the grass, grazing on gourmet food vans, sipping regional wines, and soaking in the music as the day melts into night.

Circle Saturday 9 January in your diary for an idyllic blend of iconic Australian artists, island charm, and summery good times.
