Lighthouse Rock is located by the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and follows the phenomenal success of the two previous, sold out, events in 2022 and 2023. The all-ages event is the perfect fit for fans of traditional Aussie rock ‘n roll with kids under 10 free and half-price tickets for kids 11 to 17 years.
All tickets previously held for Saturday, 18 October 2025 are valid for the new date. Tickets to the 2026 event are available from 10.00am AEST on Wednesday, 26 November from lighthouserock.com.au.
Gavin Hales from Lighthouse Presents said, “The wait is over, and we are so excited to announce this epic lineup for Lighthouse Rock and bringing back the biggest name in Australian rock history, Jimmy Barnes, back to Burnett Heads! The addition of Mental As Anything and so many more local acts makes this such a stacked festival that we are certainly proud to showcase”.
Triple M Bundy and Lighthouse Presents are once again running their Battle of the Bands competition searching for the best new local talent to kick off proceedings.
Local bands, solo artists, duos, trios and everything in between are encouraged to enter for the chance to perform in front of 5000+ music fans at Lighthouse Rock! Full entry details will be available on the website shortly.
Lighthouse Rock supports tourism in Bundaberg and is wholly committed to impacting positive change. We take this responsibility seriously, particularly since the pandemic has shaken our Queensland communities. Not only in Bundaberg, but also the surrounding regions.
We work proudly in support of local charity initiatives to increase exposure and funding to the area.
We are once again supporting Great Barrier Reef Legacy and the Living Coral Biobank Project initiative. Lighthouse Rock is also again supporting the work of the Sea Turtle Alliance.
We will be announcing various transport options and these will be announced on our social networking pages shortly.
General public tickets go on sale at 10.00am AEST on Wednesday, 26 November 2025 from Oztix. After two sold out years, we recommend getting in fast before they’re all gone!
Lighthouse Rock is presented by Lighthouse Presents and is supported by the Queensland Government, through Tourism and Events Queensland.
