Timed to coincide with QMF: The Outback, this edition of Gather Round celebrates the Outback’s Scenic Music Trails, bringing together performance, visual art, music and a collective gathering in the Outback.

From Charleville to Mount Isa, this one-of-a-kind self-drive adventure blends live music, unforgettable landscapes, and the warmth of country communities into a journey like no other.

Meet the QTouring team and discuss the challenges and opportunities you face touring beyond the region, and vice versa, bringing touring work into your region. Following the conversations, join us at QMF’s Saddle Up launch event for some incredible live music.

So come along, grab that person you’ve always wanted to speak to and say g’day, or come and welcome those who are stepping into the sector for the first time.

In collaboration with the Moreton Bay Anywhere Festival, this edition of Gather Round celebrates the resilience of art in found spaces, and the spirit of risk-taking and creativity that drives it. Bringing independent producers and artists together in unconventional venues sits at the heart of touring across Queensland.

Since 2011, Anywhere Festival has reimagined the traditional fringe model by putting creative freedom first. By offering rent-free, non-traditional venues alongside development support and marketing, the festival empowers artists to take bold risks. Audiences, in turn, are invited to discover work in surprising settings - from poetry in lighthouses to circuses in driveways, music in backyards, storytelling on ferries, theatre in hedge mazes, and even musicals staged in airplanes.

Meet the QTouring team and discuss the challenges and opportunities you face touring beyond the region, and vice versa, bringing touring work into your region.

So come along, grab that person you’ve always wanted to speak to and say g’day, or come and welcome those who are stepping into the sector for the first time.
