Rock the Outback: Broken Hill Mundi Mundi Bash Wins Gold at NSW Tourism Awards

The Broken Hill Mundi Mundi Bash
Australia’s Biggest Outback Music Festival Celebrated

The Broken Hill Mundi Mundi Bash has struck gold at the NSW Tourism Awards, taking home the top prize for Major Festival & Event. Despite being less than five years old, this vibrant festival has already cemented its place as a standout event on Australia’s music calendar. Festival founder Greg Donovan expressed pride and disbelief at the accolade, noting the journey from a remote goat paddock to receiving the state’s highest recognition for festivals.

A Unique Outback Experience

Set against the striking red dirt of the Mundi Mundi Plains, just north of Silverton in Outback NSW, the festival combines world-class live music with quintessential outback charm. Attendees enjoy three days of camping under the stars, eccentric activities, and a dog-friendly environment that attracts nearly 15,000 festival-goers each year. Highlights include camel rides, charity fun runs, comedy sessions, outdoor cinema, and more, creating a uniquely immersive outback experience.

Star-Studded 2026 Line-Up

The 2026 festival promises an unforgettable roster of Australian music legends. Confirmed acts include The Teskey Brothers, Jon Stevens, John Butler, Boy & Bear, Baby Animals, Jessica Mauboy, The Whitlams, Leo Sayer, Tim Finn, Richard Clapton, Troy Cassar-Daley, Chocolate Starfish, Furnace and the Fundamentals, Wendy Matthews, The Radiators, Shane Howard, Fanny Lumsden, 50 Years of Fleetwood Mac, Hot Potato Band, Tom Busby, and Wes Carr. Festival organisers are also planning a new crowd activity to replace the iconic Nutbush world-record dance-off, keeping the event fresh and exciting.

Plan Your Outback Adventure

The 2026 Broken Hill Mundi Mundi Bash will take place from August 20–22 at Belmont Station on the Mundi Mundi Plains, 9km north of Silverton and 35km north of Broken Hill. Tickets are already on sale and selling fast, so early booking is recommended to secure your place at one of Australia’s most unique and exhilarating music events.
