Overview

Once, heading to Nambour was all about gawking at over-sized tropical fruit. Actually, that's still the case. However, back in 2013 the giant pineapple-owning powers that be added another reason to head to the Sunshine Coast's biggest tourist attraction: an annual music festival with an ace lineup.

The 2017 event will take place on May 27 — and, with the fest announcing the roster of talent that'll rock the spiky monument, it's set to be another great day out. In The Big Pineapple Music Festival's fifth year, punters can once again expect some top notch entertainment, plus food stalls aplenty, a ferris wheel, arts, crafts and other activities, and camping. Consider the latter a warmup before glamping becomes a reality on site.
