The Big Mele was an annual rock festival on Oahu, Hawaii, from 1993 to 1999. For its first six years, the concert was held at Kualoa Ranch on the island's Windward Side. The final concert was held at Turtle Bay Resort, then known as the Turtle Bay Hilton.

Origins
In 1993, Radio Free Hawaii founder Norm Winter teamed up with the then-independent concert promotion company Goldenvoice to bring a rock music festival to the state of Hawaii. The inaugural lineup included Fishbone, Primus, Stone Temple Pilots, Tool, and Violent Femmes.
