Our Biggest Outback Music Festivals Announce Their 2026 Line-ups
After a one-year hiatus, the Birdsville Big Red Bash will return to the Simpson Desert from the 7th - 9th of July, while the Broken Hill Mundi Mundi Bash lights up the outback from the 20th - 22nd of August, with both events unveiling star-studded Australian line-ups that punters are going to love.

The Mundi Mundi Bash will feature The Teskey Brothers, Jon Stevens, John Butler, Boy & Bear, Baby Animals, Jessica Mauboy, Leo Sayer, Tim Finn, and more across three days on the iconic plains near Broken Hill.
“Watching families dance in the shadow of the Big Red sand dune or thousands under the endless Mundi Mundi sky is pure magic.” - Event founder Greg Donovan
