Nothing captures the spirit of the blues quite like a steam train. Hearing the train whistle and listening to the clickety-clack of the train while enjoying Blues and Roots performers is what makes The Blues Train truly unique. Victoria's historic coastal town of Queenscliff has been home to The Blues Train since 1994. It is an experience that combines four of Australia's best live blues and roots performers and the beautiful scenery of the Bellarine Peninsula aboard a 'real moving' heritage train, it's a 'mini' music festival in one night.
The Blues Train provides a world-class experience for over 18s including a full meal and show, rolling bar, four blues performers and the train ride across the Bellarine Peninsula.
Having survived 2 global financial crises and two waves of the Covid pandemic, The Blues Train has consistently bounced back and has already achieved pre-covid pandemic levels boasting an impressive $300,000 + of pre-sold advanced ticket sales.
