All the music news from Cairns & Far North Queensland that’s fit to post..

Optimised for mobile devices, because we know you need the latest local goss while you eat your lunch. NQ Music Press’s mission is to report on, unearth and archive the Cairns and North Queensland music scene. It is a place to discover up and coming new bands, and rediscover NQ bands from the past. Have a dig around in our rapidly growing archive of older Cairns and NQ band music and images, there’s definitely gold to be found in there! If it’s music entertainment news and it’s happening in Cairns and surrounds, we’re all over it. North QLD Music Press covers Cairns, Port Douglas, Tablelands and all points in-between.
