At Charlotte Plains, we love to showcase the talents of diverse musicians. Whether you’re a solo artist or band, we welcome you to perform at our grounds. Please see below for information of Live Music Residencies and our Stars of Charlotte Plains festival.
We love live music at Charlotte Plains, and welcome artists who are travelling through or keen to make the journey out to perform at the Bore Campsite. Whether you’re an emerging talent or a seasoned performer, you’ll have the chance to entertain a crowd gathered around the campfire each evening.
Ideally, our music residencies run for a week or longer, with daily performances between 4-6pm. It’s a great opportunity to share your music in an outback setting and connect with guests from all walks of life.

Stars of Charlotte Plains is a three-day, family-friendly country music festival set in the heart of Outback Queensland. The camping event features live music, food trucks, artesian baths, yabbying, a fun run, and plenty more to entertain visitors of all ages.
We’re on the lookout for artists and bands to perform across the festival weekend. If you’re the kind of performer who loves connecting with people around a campfire, getting a bit of dust on your boots, and soaking in an artesian bath after your set — you’ll fit right in.
