What’s On

The Sunshine Coast’s favourite festival, The Big Pineapple Music Festival is back on May 22, 2021!

Big Pineapple Music Festival will once again transform the lush Pineapple Fields, Woombye, into your very own musical paradise.

Get on board, ‘cause the 2021 line up is a thirst crusher! This May, we’ll be taking to the fields to bliss out with our very own ‘sonic sorcerer’ and ARIA-nominated global tastemaker, Alison Wonderland. We know you’ve been pining for the sticky sweet musings of Peking Duk and we welcome them for the third time in our history to bring their quintessential earworms and explosive live show.

Well, the good stuff doesn’t stop there…

For those that like it turned up to 11, the four-time #1 heavy-hitters, Amity Affliction will join the ranks of stellar Australian acts. Meanwhile, a rarity to the festival, we welcome international vibe curator Example (UK) who’ll be bringing the best of his global platinum bangers to the stage. It wouldn’t feel right if we didn’t invite the rascals from up the road, Dune Rats, to tear it up again in fine form, followed by the meteoric juggernaut that is Melbourne local and indie-pop powerhouse, G Flip. A troppo, live music adventure in the Sunshine State after the year we’ve had.

Who wouldn’t sign up for a slice of the good life?
