Maleny Music Festival bonanza

Get ready for a weekend of unforgettable music, culture, and connection at the Maleny Music Festival, held over three days this November at the Maleny Showgrounds in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

Now in its 12th year, the festival presents more than 60 acts across seven stages, with 150 concerts, dances, workshops, and activities running from morning to midnight.

From folk, Irish, blues, and Americana to original songwriting, storytelling, and world-class musicianship, there’s something for every taste.

Festival Director Rachel Clarke said the 2025 line-up features old favourites, exciting new voices, and 11 interstate and international acts. “It’s big enough to brim with variety, yet intimate and community-driven. Volunteers run the event, and festival-goers can jam, make lanterns, or simply connect.”
