The beloved annual electronic-focused festival, Strawberry Fields, has confirmed it will return this year.

Returning to the banks of the Dhungala / Murray River from Friday, 20 to Sunday, 22 November, the Tocumwal-based event will soon unveil its line-up of music, art and connection for 2026.

Thousands of Early Bird tickets disappeared, selling out a year in advance. So, anticipation for this year’s Ticket Ballot is at an all-time high. You can register for the ballot until Tuesday, 30 June, via Humanitix. The ballot draw opens on Thursday, 2 July. More ticketing information can be found here.

Strawberry Fields is one of the most in-demand music festivals in Australia—last year’s edition reached an incredible 95% sell-out point before the line-up was revealed.

Highlighting the necessary aspects of hosting an independent festival – inclusivity and community access – Strawberry Fields continues to host ticket pathways such as Low Income and First Nations programs.

This year, it will also introduce new accessibility upgrades, including a low-sensory space, accessible viewing platforms, and increased amenities. The festival also adds a new music stage to its already expansive map, plus new sustainability measures.

Each year, the event features a world-class line-up of local and international electronic music acts. It consistently locks in a stacked music line-up and spotlights large-scale art, immersive experiences, performance, workshops, community, and wellbeing retreats, expanding beyond the dancefloor.

Last year, Strawberry Fields raised $100,000 for charity through its partnership with Humanitix.

It aims to reach the same target this year by donating a portion of all tickets sold to Yorta Yorta-led projects, while annually contributing an estimated $3.7 million in economic output to the Berrigan Shire and $7.9 million across the Greater Border region.

Highlights from last year’s line-up included Detroit Love ft. Carl Craig & Moodymann, Gilles Peterson, Chaos In The CBD, dameeeela, Interplanetary Criminal, Tommy Holohan, Malugi, DEVAURA, Lady Shaka, and ISAbella.
