Yours & Owls is back!
Yours and Owls Festival is bringing “Gong Christmas”back to Wollongong this October, returning with a huge multi-venue celebration set to transform the city into a music-filled playground across two days.
For 2026, day one sees the event revisit the scenic surrounds of Flagstaff Hill, while day two expands into Wollongong’s city centre, with laneways, venues and closed-off streets turning the township into an immersive urban festival experience.
Leading the massive lineup is Canadian viral hitmaker bbno$, performing his only Australian show, alongside homegrown heavyweights G Flip, Ball Park Music, DMA’S, Genesis Owusu, Hiatus Kaiyote, Luude, Middle Kids, PNAU, The Drones and Tkay Maidza.
The stacked bill spans indie, hip hop, electronic, soul and rock, with organisers providing the eclectic energy that has become synonymous with Yours and Owls. Alongside the music, festival-goers can expect local arts, Wollongong’s best food and beverage vendors, and hidden musical moments scattered throughout the city.
