NOT LONG NOW UNTIL THE 1ST HEAT FOR NEWCASTLE!!

@passporttoairlie @liveatthestag

Passport to Airlie isn’t just a competition – it’s a launchpad for Australia’s next generation of live, original music legends. This is where that journey begins.

Passport To Airlie: It’s raw. It’s real. It’s where grassroots talent meets the stage and where venues throw their weight behind live, homegrown sound.

No cover songs. No tributes. Just pure originality.

Held over 7 weeks including 4 Heats, 2 semis and a grand final the Stag & Hunter is proud to host Passport To Airlie once again this year.

Mark it down in your calendars now:
Heat 1: Sunday 29th June
Heat 2: Sunday 6th July
Heat 3: Sunday 13th July
Heat 4: Sunday 20th July

Four nights accommodation for up to five band members

And for the encore? The ultimate act doesn’t just take home the glory – they score the full rockstar treatment all over again next year.
That means another VIP trip to Airlie Beach, another killer festival experience and the biggest prize of all – a spot on the main stage at Airlie Beach Festival of Music 2026.
