7 Things To Do On The Sunshine Coast in April 2025:
1. Calan Mai, Solbar, April 4
If you’ve been fanging to know the boys behind the act, catch Jordy and his cohort of local rock gods for their debut album launch at Solbar. It’s gonna be a fun one!
2. Babe Rainbow, Imperial Hotel, April 5
We wrote a piece on the 10 Biggest Acts Coming To The Sunshine Coast earlier this year, and right after we posted it Babe Rainbow – with their 614k monthly Spotify listeners – announced they too were sailing into town this year! These guys will be a great to see live if you’re into those percussionist-y, good-times.
3. Peking Duk, Kings Beach Tavern, April 10
Another jacked night out on the Coast will be when Peking Duk take over the KBT. If you saw them at Big Pineapple Festival last year you’ll know these guys are even better live. They bring the energy!

4. Bodjar + The Wolston Butchers, Norton Music Factory, April 12
Bodyjar is doing a boomerang back to the Coast this year after blowing the roof off the Blackflag Brewery open stage for Something Cool Festival last November. Our fave local punk rockers The Wolston Butchers, who also played that night, are supporting them. If you love hard and fast punk energy, this is going to be an incredible show.
5. Stand Atlantic & Redhook, Solbar, April 13
Another band which was just here for Something Cool Festival is Redhook, who were absolutely phenomenal that night. They had toilet paper hanging from the rafters in true punk rock style! If that show is anything to go by, Stand Atlantic is another one we will not be missing this month.
6. Xavier Rudd, The Station, April 17
While it’s already sold-out, we can’t not mention our fave local roots superstar Xavier Rudd who will perform at The Station. We just want to see more of you Ruddy!
7. Lime Cordiale, The Station, April 26
Australia’s favourite pop-rock group Lime Cordiale always bring the crowds, so if you’re a fan-of-the-century too, consider getting your tickets to this NOW. Die-hards can also catch them on the Gold Coast and Toowoomba.
