Pomonapalooza2026 kicked off Queensland Youth Week with big sound and serious local talent. This high-energy youth music fest celebrates the next generation of musicians, giving young performers a platform to shine. The 2026 lineup features a diverse mix of youth bands from across Noosa, Gympie and Sunshine Coast regions, including Duke Street, CorksCrew, Noggins, Bland, and headliners Karma Police, delivering everything from indie rock and alt-rock to reggae, grunge, heavy metal and feel-good crowd vibes.

Plus what a treat to have had Lily-Rose as MC for Pomonapalooza2026. The talented performer has been part of Pomonapalooza since its 2024 inception, first with her band Taking Back Thursdays, and returning in 2025 as front woman of Wholesale Noise. Lily-Rose was also the guest performer for Palooza Unplugged in 2025.

Pomonapalooza is hosted by Pomona & District Community House (PCH), a regional grassroots not-for-profit neighbourhood centre. PCH is dedicated to co-creating inclusive dynamic spaces with young people, where they can express themselves in meaningful and authentic ways
