The Sunshine Coast is in for a hot winter as The Station SC drops its biggest seasonal program yet.
With a diverse lineup of national icons, rising local talent, genre-spanning festivals, and community and culture-driven celebrations, The Station SC is officially cementing itself as the region’s ultimate destination for live music, events and culture.
“This winter, we’re all in,“ Chris Hignett said, owner of The Station.
“From massive touring acts to genre-defying festivals and community showcases, this season is a love letter to live music in all its forms. We’re inviting everyone — locals and visitors — to rug up, show up, and experience it with us.“
On Saturday, 14 June, Make Them Suffer are bringing their brutal and melodic metalcore to the stage, supported by powerhouse acts Justice for the Damned and The Gloom in the Corner — a must-see for fans of Australia’s heavy music elite.
Saturday, 21 June will rev up with the re-scheduled Bike Night, always one of The Station’s biggest days, with family fun, food, fast bikes and more. Gold Coin Entry with proceeds going to Nambour Special School’s Chaplaincy Program.
June closes out with a fierce new addition to the calendar: Tough Girls Wear Pink, landing on Saturday, 28 June.
July launches with a fire NAIDOC Week event: Blak, Proud & Next-Gen Loud, featuring the awesome J MILLA, and supported by Lil Mase on Friday, 4 July, then rolls into the highly anticipated Winter One-derland on Saturday, 5 July — a full-scale winter party featuring electronic royalty The Presets, indie-electro favourites Crooked Colours, and the electrifying Haiku Hands, Pulse DJs, Isla Ivy and Emily Rink.
The following weekend, on Saturday, 12 July, it’s time to rock out with A Night at Wembley, a stadium-worthy tribute to two of the greatest bands of all time: Queen and INXS. Expect soaring vocals, iconic guitar riffs, and all the anthems you know and love.
And to close out the winter – The Balin Forever Festival is set to return in 2025 under a new name—BFF Festival—on Saturday, 30 August. While the headliner and full artist lineup have yet to be announced, the event promises another unforgettable evening of live music and community spirit.
In addition to ticketed shows, The Station SC continues to support grassroots talent and community connection with Froth’d Out Fridays — happening every Friday night from 5PM. These free-entry, all-ages, dog-friendly nights spotlight live original music from the Sunshine Coast and beyond, served up with a side of local beer, street eats, and feel-good energy.
