The Big Pineapple Music Festival 2019
Nambour's must-attend music festival returns for 2019.
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 Saturday, May 25 — and, with the fest announcing the roster of talent that'll rock four stages at the spiky monument, it's set to be another great day out. In The Big Pineapple Music Festival's seventh year, punters can once again expect some top-notch entertainment, plus a ferris wheel, food stalls aplenty, arts, crafts and other activities, and camping. Consider the latter a warmup before permanent glamping becomes a reality on site.
It's enough to make you block out a weekend, book a ticket from 9am on Thursday, February 14 and revel near one of the country's favourite big things. And if you're after specifics, here's the list of bands and musos that'll be taking care of the tunes:
