Greater Geelong is set to host two massive events that will attract about 75,000 people this weekend.

The Geelong Revival will attract car lovers from all over the country while the Queenscliff Music Festival is set to entertain on the Bellarine Peninsula.

More than 1500 cars and motorcycles and 50,000 people will take over the Geelong Waterfront for the Revival while about 25,000 are expected to flock to the Bellarine for the music festival.

Both are multiday events while international pop star Robbie Williams will perform at Mt Duneed on Saturday night.

Those searching for accommodation are in for a rude shock. Online searches show scant availability and high prices for a two-night stay in Geelong while the pickings are also slim, and costly, on the Bellarine.
