Queensland music, without waiting for the algorithm to notice.
YELO playlists are hand-selected for people who want to hear what is moving through Queensland now. We’ve also thrown in a couple of collections that belong on long drives, beach days, backyards and the stretch between towns.
While some playlists chase new local sounds, others are built for the red-dirt roads, coastal walks and fruit-bowl indie. Then there are those that sound like they came out of a dubiously smoky share house with a broken screen door.
Explore the full collection on YELO Playlists.
Queensland music playlists
Pineapple Radar
The latest crop of songs coming out of the Sunshine Coast. These fresh finds also feature on YELO’s weekly music segment on ABC Sunshine Coast each Tuesday.
Pineapple State
The latest wave of talent coming out of Queensland, from Cooktown to Coolangatta.
Fruit Club
Fruity indie jams, bright guitars and juicy songs from Queensland with more colour than a summer pavlova.
Bad Weather Girls
Female-fronted Queensland music for bad moods, sharp voices, storm clouds and songs that do not step politely aside.
Four Twenty Faded
Queensland-heavy sounds for smoky share houses, slow afternoons and songs that take the long way home.
Esky on the Espy
Coastal beats and breezy sounds for esky walks along the espy, low tide air and nowhere urgent to be.
Great Southern Surf Club
Australian indie surf rock for sandboarding, servo stops, melted ice creams, and cars full of sand.
Red Dust Radio
Australian classics for sunburnt highways, tin-roof pubs, dusty backroads and choruses that come back before you know the words.
Built for the local music rabbit hole
The YELO playlists are updated as new artists, releases and local sounds come through.
They are not trying to flatten Queensland music into one neat “local” bucket. The state is too big, too weird and too sunburnt for that. These playlists sort the noise by mood, place and scene, so listeners can move from a Sunshine Coast discovery to a Brisbane band, a Gold Coast groove or an old Australian road song without losing the thread.
Follow the playlists, save your favourites and keep checking back as more Queensland music gets added to the pile.
