Long Listen is a boutique festival weaving eclectic music, conversation, and cultural experiences into an inspiring long weekend, Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

Long Listen is an artist-driven, musician-led boutique festival that celebrates the power of music to connect and inspire. Each year, we transform community spaces in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland into vibrant hubs of creativity, presenting an eclectic mix of classical crossover, world, folk, experimental and original music. Imagine singer-songwriters with string quartets, experimental voices alongside ancient instruments, and intimate concerts that invite discovery.

At its heart, Long Listen is about inclusivity, creating memorable audience experiences while giving artists a platform to experiment, collaborate, and make new work deeply embedded in our community.
