By The Pier is organised by the team behind the Queenscliff Music Festival, which is regularly scheduled for November and was forced to cancel both this year and last year.

“We’re super excited to see the return of music festivals and to be able to present such a stellar line up of Aussie artists for our inaugural event. We can’t wait to party in Queenscliff with you in March,” festival director Andrew Orvis said in a statement.

Both weekend and single-day tickets are available from this Friday (November 26) via the festival website.
