Mundi Mundi Bash 2026 — Broken Hill
Your Complete Festival Guide
Welcome to Mundiville
Welcome to the Mundi Mundi Bash at Broken Hill, nestled against the breathtaking Mundi Mundi Plains. We're thrilled to bring you Australia's biggest Outback Music Festival — a one-of-a-kind experience to unwind, enjoy live performances, and connect with new friends amidst the magic of the Outback.
The Bash began in 2013 on the red sand of the Simpson Desert near Birdsville with just 600 revellers and John Williamson. Today it's a family-friendly, dog-friendly, inclusive outback community. Since our inaugural Mundi Mundi Bash in April 2022, we've called these red dirt plains of NSW home.
This guide is everything you need — from planning your trip to rolling out. Read it cover to cover, or use the navigation to jump to what you need.
Acknowledgement of Country
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet, the Wilyakali People. We pay our respects to their elders past, present, and emerging, and to their communities.
