About Us
The Agnes Blues, Roots & Rock Festival is held annually across one weekend in February in the stunning destination of Agnes Water and 1770 on the sensational Southern Great Barrier Reef.
Live music, licensed bar, a variety of food vendors and markets to suit all tastes, plus an intimate vibe, are highlight features of this all-weather event, with plenty of undercover space to chill out or dance your socks off. Shuttle Bus service at a minimal cost is available across the entire Festival between a range of accommodation points to maximise your #AgnesBluesFest experience.
Brought to life and power-housed each year behind the scenes and front of house by a dedicated and passionate team of volunteers from across a vibrant local community, the Agnes Blues, Roots & Rock Festival experience is unforgettably intimate, while showcasing high calibre performers in a beautiful coastal destination. One very special opportunity to discover new music, rock out to Festival favourites and get up close and personal learning new skills in one of the unique and inspiring Performer-led Festival workshops.
