In case you missed it has dropped a sneak peek of this year’s program — and it’s looking the goods.

From an electrifying, non-stop performance that condenses a three-day rave into one hour of pure chaos and endurance, to the powerful cultural gathering of Yauar Warai Wandi celebrating living connections to Country through music, ceremony and sculpture. Plus, Queensland Music Award-winner Jem Cassar-Daley brings her indie-pop magic to Solbar.

’s new lead Bec Martin on the stories she’s drawn to:

“I love stories that are a bit scrappy, a bit tender, and totally unafraid to be weird. I’m drawn to work that’s emotionally honest, politically sharp, and full of heart. The kind that makes you laugh, cry, and then immediately text someone about it.

Whether it’s a moment of truth or a bold theatrical experiment, I’m interested in work that moves us and makes us think.”

Horizon Festival returns 1–10 May 2026, celebrating 10 years of art, stories and place on the Sunshine Coast.
