The Queensland Music Festival (QMF) is a series of musical events staged in a number of locations in Queensland, Australia, usually around late July, every second year. It is financially supported by the Queensland Government through Arts Queensland,[1] the Brisbane City Council, the Australia Council, and a wide range of other partners.[2] It brings new innovative musical experiences to the far flung communities as well as major cities of Queensland.[3]

Since its inception, Queensland Music Festival has grown from a biennial state-wide festival of music, to a creator of annual festivals and events, producing over 800 live music experiences for the 2019 Festival. By its geography, length, participation and attendance, Queensland Music Festival is the largest live music festival in the world.[citation needed]
