Now into its fifth big year, Island Vibe has solidified its reputation as the leading Reggae, Roots and Cultural festival in the South Pacific. The three day festival held in late October annually on the pristine North Stradbroke Island is the ideal home of great tunes and good vibes, with thousands of people from around Australia making the annual pilgrimage to enjoy the festival.

2009 marked the biggest year yet for the event with Chali 2na, Natiruts and Sunshine Sound System rocking the line-up, and the festival enjoying an almost virtual sell-out. The build-up for this year’s Island Vibe has already kicked in to overdrive, as early bird and second-round tickets sold out in record time. Still, there is plenty of tickets and accommodation available, but get in quick to lock away your place amongst the music, sun, surf and sand.

This year the first announcement lineup looks something like this, Ladi 6 (NZ), Groundation (US), Paula Fuga (Hawaii), Opiuo, Darky Roots, Kooii, Rhythm Hunters, Impossible Odds, Paua, Djambouki, 20,000 Leagues, Rhythm Collision Sound, De La Haye, DJ Mustaphaa, Andy Dub and Landsoaken.

Early bird tickets sold out already, limited second release tickets are now available so act quickly!
