Music lovers will again descend on the Big Pineapple this year, as the Queensland icon hosts its 10th festival.
Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Rosanna Natoli said the Big Pineapple Festival was a highlight of the Sunshine Coast’s events calendar, with this year’s instalment locked in for Saturday, November 1.
“Marking a decade of championing homegrown music talent, the festival will return to the iconic Pineapple Fields in Woombye,” Mayor Natoli said.
She said the 10-year milestone came on the heels of the Big Pineapple Festival being named Best Music Festival at the 2025 Queensland Music Awards, the fourth time receiving the honour, following a 2024 comeback after a three-year hiatus.
Mayor Natoli said over the past decade the Festival had built a reputation for supporting Australian artists across rock, indie, hip-hop and electronic genres.
“We are proud to support an occasion that brings our community together and boosts our local economy.
“Over 10 years, this festival has showcased incredible local talent and put our region on the map as a music destination.”
Founder and Festival Director Mark Pico said 10 years ago, their goal was to put Australian artists front and centre and create an unforgettable experience for fans.
“To be here a decade later – with the festival stronger than ever and even earning industry awards again – is incredibly humbling,” Mr Pico said.
“It’s a testament to the amazing community of artists, attendees and partners who have believed in the Big Pineapple Festival from the start.”
