Sold-out Mundi Mundi Bash kicks off August 21

The Broken Hill Mundi Mundi Bash has officially sold out, with close to 15,000 people heading into far-west NSW this week for Australia’s biggest outback music festival.

Running 21–23 August on Belmont Station, the event has become an annual pilgrimage for travellers, many making the trip in 4WDs, caravans and camper trailers.

“We’re officially at full capacity – with nearly 15,000 people from all walks of life already making their way to the Mundi Mundi Plains ready to rock the Outback later this week,” said Festival Director Greg Donovan.

This year’s line-up leans on Aussie favourites, with Missy Higgins, Hoodoo Gurus, The Cat Empire, Birds of Tokyo, The Angels, Kasey Chambers, Kate Ceberano and Leo Sayer leading the bill. They’re joined by more than two dozen other acts, including Rose Tattoo, Shannon Noll, Dragon, Thirsty Merc, Chocolate Starfish and a Bowie tribute featuring Iota, Jeff Duff and Steve Balbi.

Now in its fourth year, the Bash is known for more than just the music. Regular highlights include the Nutbush world record dance-off, the fundraising Mundi Undie Run, plus a mix of outback experiences – from camel and helicopter rides to outdoor cinema and even dunny door painting.

“We have an awesome line-up, but in many ways, the incredible landscape is the real headliner,” Donovan said. “When you pair that with our iconic Aussie artists and give people the chance to camp under stars in the middle of nowhere – that’s where the magic happens.”

With Mad Max: Furiosa filmed on the site, this year also adds themed activities celebrating the region’s movie heritage. The festival is BYO, dog-friendly and open to all ages, attracting families, retirees and long-haul road-trippers. For the first time, travellers can reach the site entirely on sealed road, after the NSW Government completed the last 2.5 km into Belmont Station – a welcome change for dusty 4×4 journeys.

The sell-out confirms the Mundi Mundi Bash as the largest ticketed event ever staged in outback Australia – and one that has firmly earned its place on the touring calendar for 4×4 adventurers and festival-goers alike.
