## Key points

- Outback festival Mundi Mundi Bash sells out 2026, nearly 15,000 attending
- Runs 20-22 August near Broken Hill, NSW, with major Australian acts
- New additions include Lightfest drone show and charity Bash Choir event

## Summary

The Mundi Mundi Bash, an outback music festival held near Broken Hill in New South Wales, has sold out its 2026 edition, with organisers expecting close to 15,000 attendees. The result is notable given the challenging conditions facing regional events, with organisers pointing to cost-of-living pressures and higher travel costs that have squeezed discretionary spending elsewhere in Australia's live sector.

The three-day camping festival runs from 20 to 22 August at Belmont Station on the Mundi Mundi Plains, roughly 35km from Broken Hill, with a lineup including The Teskey Brothers, John Butler, Jessica Mauboy, The Whitlams, Leo Sayer and Fanny Lumsden. This year's event also introduces Lightfest, a free three-night drone light show and street festival in Broken Hill beforehand, and Bash Choir, a mass singalong of Tina Turner's "The Best" that replaces the previous Nutbush record attempt and raises money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service, alongside other charity activities and family-friendly programming.
