Meredith Music Festival returns this December with yet another stacked line-up comprising international and local talent.

Leading the charge is American rockers TV On The Radio, visiting Australia for the first time in a decade. Also featuring on the 33rd edition of Meredith are Atarashii Gakko!, Perfume Genius, Thee Sacred Souls, Colin Hay, Folk Bitch Trio, RONA, Radio Free Alice, Wax’o Paradiso, Drifting Clouds, the Central Australian Aboriginal Women’s Choir, and more; plus additional acts will be announced closer to the festival.

This year’s edition of Meredith Music Festival will take place across the weekend of Friday, 5 to Sunday, 7 December, at the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre in Victoria.

Today, the second round of the ballot – the best way to secure tickets to any Meredith festival – opened.

It’s open to all, including newcomers to events held at Meredith, and closes at 10:33 am AEST on Tuesday, 19 August. Applications are also now open for those who would like to volunteer at this year’s event. You can enter the ballot or apply to volunteer here.

Of course, like previous years, the 2025 Meredith Music Festival will be held on a permanent, purpose-built wonderland.

It’s the “same size, same shape,” with BYO, free range camping and parking, no commercial messages or branding, and the usual treats such as Ecoplex, SportsField, Tai Chi, Gift Lap, Big Wheel, Tucker Tent, Sunset, Brass Band, Pink Drink, and the Sky Show.

The only policy? Don’t be a dickhead.
