After a three-year hiatus, the Queensland event situated by a cultural icon, the Big Pineapple Music Festival, will return with a wicked line-up this year.
The one-day event will occur on Saturday, 19 October, with a line-up packed with Australian talent. Headliners include heavy music icons The Amity Affliction, popstar Tones & I—returning to the festival for the first time in five years—hip-hop trio Bliss n Eso, electronic producer Golden Features, singer-songwriter Vera Blue, and electronic pop duo Peking Duk.
The rest of the line-up is also stacked, featuring the likes of Thornhill, Dune Rats delivering a DJ set, Slumberjack, Teen Jesus And The Jean Teasers, South Summit, Ocean Grove, and more. You can check out the full line-up below.
In addition to music, Big Pineapple is offering interactive competitions and activities, such as the annual Best Dressed At The Fest competition, BPF Skate Jam, the debut performance by Burlesque L’amour, and the return of The Great Australian Pineapple Toss competition.
You can now sign up for pre-sale tickets before the pre-sale opens on Wednesday, 10 July, at 8 am AEST. General sale tickets will be sold at 8 am AEST on Thursday, 11 July. You can find more ticketing details on the Big Pineapple music festival website.
The festival is also offering camping (which does not include a festival ticket) for those who want to spend two nights at the Pineapple Fields site.
In a statement, Michael Healy, Minister for Tourism and Sport, said of this year’s Big Pineapple Music Festival: “It’s great to see the iconic and multi-award-winning Big Pineapple Festival return to Queensland’s events calendar in 2024.
“The Queensland Government is proud to support the festival as part of our commitment to a strong local events program, particularly at a time when the sector has been struggling. The festival also provides Queensland and Australian acts the opportunity to perform at the iconic Big Pineapple Fields on the Sunshine Coast, helping also to sustain artists and the local supply chains”.
Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli added: “This is a spectacular event and drawcard for festivalgoers to come to the Sunshine Coast.”
Back in April, Joshua Taylor-Anderson, CEO and founder of music marketing company Call And Response (and Artist Manager at Combined Management), confirmed that Big Pineapple Music Festival would return this year – its first event since May 2021.
In The Music’s review of the event in 2019, writer Carley Hall declared that “Big Pineapple Festival feels like it’s found a solid place on the festival circuit, enjoying sold-out success due to big-name line-ups and a small but fuss-free set-up north of Brisbane.”

Emerging as one of 2024’s most promising R&B talents, Nellie Charles has dropped her latest track, Finished, delighting fans and critics alike. The freshest release from Chocolate Love Monkey and Melody Mover puts Nellie’s skills on vivid display, etching her mark as an ascendant force in the UK music scene with every melodic line and lyric.
With early nods from heavy hitters like BBC Radio 1Xtra, where Finished snagged the coveted Track of the Week title, and airplay across other major stations like BBC Radio 1, KISS FM, and Capital Xtra, Nellie’s soulful sound is resonating across the UK.
At Glastonbury 2024, she truly came alive on stage, serving notice that she’s a talent on the rise. Finished weaves a tapestry of chilled R&B rhythms with its lo-fi beats, welling synths, and subtle guitars underpinned by a deep sub bass, all led by Nellie’s silky, emotive vocals. Imagine stripping away the superficial layers and uncovering the very core of human emotion – that’s what Nellie’s done with this track, distilling her own intimate experiences into an emotional catalyst for growth and healing.
Born into a family of musicians and raised on a diet of soul legends like Etta James and Marvin Gaye, Nellie’s passion for music was ignited from a young age. With Amy Winehouse and Lauryn Hill as her creative role models, she’s produced a discography that pulses with vulnerability and uncanny sincerity. Nellie’s DIY ethos empowers her to foster a sound that’s raw, unfiltered, and inherently hers – qualities that radiate from every note she composes.
Love’s messy cocktail of euphoria and devastation is rendered stark and relatable in her songs, where the elation and heartache pour out of her lyrics like snapshots from a photo album, speaking directly to our own tumultuous experiences. As Nellie continues to receive accolades from some of the UK’s top music tastemakers, her trajectory in the R&B scene looks promising.
Her music is a helping hand, a listening ear, and a comforting voice all rolled into one – she crafts it to uplift and inspire, forging a connection with her audience that runs deep. With Nellie Charles, you’re not just experiencing music – you’re engaging in a vulnerable dialogue that resonates long after the song ends.
Justin Bieber has reportedly been paid $10million (£7.8million) to play a pre-wedding party for the son of the richest man in Asia.
The Indian businessman Mukesh Ambani, chairman of the company Reliance Industries, has an estimated net worth of over $120billion, and chose to spend some of it on an extravagant celebration ahead of his son Anant’s wedding to Radhika Merchant.
The show went down at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, India, and included Bieber running through a number of his biggest songs, including ‘Baby’, ‘Sorry’ and ‘What Do You Mean?’
See footage from the show below:

It follows on from a similarly exclusive show that Rihanna played for the couple in March, her first full-length set in over six years.
Bieber has been withdrawing from the spotlight in recent years, opening up in 2019 about his ongoing struggles with anxiety. In 2022, he also took a formal break from performing live, cancelling all of the remaining live shows on his ‘Justice’ tour after being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome and suffering partial facial paralysis.
He reportedly turned down the offer to join Usher during his Super Bowl performance this year, as he “wasn’t feeling it”. A source claimed to Page Six that “there’s no bad blood between Usher and Justin,” adding, “Justin just wasn’t up for it.”
In the end, Usher was joined by guests including Alicia Keys, H.E.R and will.i.am.
He did, however, make a surprise appearance onstage with Wizkid and Tems during their performance of ‘Essence’ at Coachella 2024.
It marked Bieber’s return to the Coachella stage, having performed as a guest during Ariana Grande‘s 2019 set and with Daniel Caesar for their hit ‘Peaches’ in 2022.
He also played a private show in February at a private NHL All-Star party, ahead of the All-Star Game, for which he served as a team captain, alongside Michael Bublé, Tate McRae and Will Arnett.
In April, Bieber led the tributes to his close friend and rapper Chris King, who was reportedly shot dead aged 32.

Both metal legends were filmed sidestage at Norway’s Tons Of Rock Festival, where Metallica headlined on June 26, and Judas Priest on June 28. Nova Twins, Tool and Parkway Drive were among the other performers at the festival.
Both have been vocal proponents of newer artists in metal, throwing support behind the likes of Ghost and Sleep Token. They’re also no stranger to sharing a viral moment, given similar footage of Hetfield watching Judas Priest at Power Trip festival took social media by storm last year.

Discussing playing festivals with NME fresh after appearing on Glastonbury’s John Peel Stage in 2022, Turnstile frontman Brendan Yates said: “I think maybe there’s a subconscious way of just adapting to wherever you’re at, be it a room with 50 people or a big festival: you’re always going to do exactly what you do and be exactly who you are. I don’t know if that’s a particular thing [we do], but it’s maybe more of a subconscious search for the ways to connect the most.”

Touching on the meteoric rise of the Baltimore band, he continued: “The ability to reach whoever might be looking for our music, and seeing that happen, is always an amazing feeling.
“Since we’ve been able to play live again, the opportunities we’ve been blessed with to play for so many new people… I think playing music, no matter who you ask, it’s always an exciting opportunity, especially to never feel like you’re doing the same thing [and that] you’re always constantly growing. That doesn’t necessarily mean the size [of a crowd], but more so growing as far as challenging yourself, putting yourself in new scenarios and taking your opportunities to grow moving forward.”
Turnstile are among a slew of artists currently touring and holding concerts in Asia in 2024.
