Sunshine Coast hosts Australia's largest touring country festival
Strummingbird is back at Sunshine Coast Stadium and the Kawana Sports Precinct in 2026 and they are bringing the biggest names in country music including Post Malone, Bailey Zimmerman and Cooper Alan!
On the back of an incredible sold out string of shows in 2025, Strummingbird festival is back in 2026 and it is returning to Sunshine Coast Stadium and Kawana Sports Precinct.
The date is set for Sunday the 18th of October with international superstars Post Malone, Bailey Zimmerman and Cooper Alan headlining the show.
Post Malone is a name that needs no introduction. The singer and rapper has dominated the charts across multiple genres since his debut album 'Stoney' in 2016. Malone has since turned his attention to country music releasing F-1 Trillion, a grammy nominated album in 2024. The album featured worldwide hit 'I had some help' with star Morgan Wallen.
Bailey Zimmerman has burst onto the scene to become one of the hottest names in country music. His debut album 'Religiously. The Album' brought hits 'Fall in Love' and 'Rock and a Hard Place' while 2025's album 'Different Night Same Rodeo' cemented Zimmerman as a top country music artist.
Joining them will be an exciting mix of international and Australian acts including Stella Lefty, Dexter and the Moonrocks, Brad Cox, Max Jackson, Sara Berki and more.
Thousands of fans will once again fill Kawana Sports Precinct for the festival in what will be one of the largest festivals the region has ever hosted. Not only will Strummingbird give the chance for locals to see international superstars right here on the Sunshine Coast, it will attract thousands of visitors from outside the region, giving the community a fantastic economic boost.
