Birdsville Big Red Bash & Mundi Mundi Bash Reveal 2026 Line-ups

Australia’s largest outback music festivals, the Birdsville Big Red Bash and the Broken Hill Mundi Mundi Bash, have announced the line-ups for their 2026 editions.

The Birdsville Big Red Bash returns to the Simpson Desert from 7-9 July after a year-long hiatus, while the Broken Hill Mundi Mundi Bash gears up for another record-breaking year across 20-22 August.

Both featuring stacked line-ups, the festivals will host Australian music royalty in Missy Higgins (Big Red Bash only), The Teskey Brothers, Hoodoo Gurus (Big Red Bash only), Jon Stevens (Mundi Mundi Bash only), John Butler (Mundi Mundi Bash only), The Living End (Big Red Bash only), Birds of Tokyo (Big Red Bash only), Jessica Mauboy, and many others.

You can check out the full line-ups for both festivals below.

Tickets for the Birdsville Big Red Bash will be available at 10 am AEDT on Thursday, 23 October, followed by tickets to the Broken Hill Mundi Mundi Bash at 10 am AEDT on Friday, 24 October. Head to the Big Red Bash and Mundi Mundi Bash websites for tickets and more details.

In a statement, Greg Donovan, the Founder and Owner of both events, plus the Managing Director of the Outback Music Festival Group, which stages the festivals, said: “We’re stoked to be bringing back the full Birdsville Big Red Bash after taking a breather this year. Our team are recharged and ready to give festivalgoers an unforgettable outback adventure.”

Donovan added, “Watching families dance in the shadow of the 40-metre-high Big Red sand dune as the sun sets behind it, or seeing thousands on the Mundi Mundi Plains under that endless sky with the Barrier Ranges behind them is pure magic.”

Both events are camping-based, with the Birdsville Big Red Bash known as the “world’s most remote music event,” and the Mundi Mundi Bash recognised as Australia’s Biggest Outback Music Festival.

Punters will get to enjoy three days of live music, BYO food and alcohol—with food and drink vendors also on-site—and outback entertainment, including world record attempts and charity fun runs. In 2026, a new activity will replace the famous Nutbush dance-offs at both Bash events.
