“Hey there, you beautiful hippies – I can’t wait to get back out to the Mundi Mundi Bash. Big skies, dusty boots, and a bunch of free spirits all singing along… doesn’t get much better than that.” – Richard Clapton

Richard Clapton is one of Australia’s foremost singer-songwriters, capturing the soundtrack of suburban dreams and restless hearts through the ’70s and ’80s. With iconic tracks like “Girls on the Avenue,” “Deep Water” and “Capricorn Dancer,” he has influenced generations of musicians and listeners alike.

His songs carry a sense of wander and reflection — perfectly suited to the wide skies and long roads that lead to Mundi. A familiar and much-loved presence at the Bash, Clapton brings that unmistakable blend of rock nostalgia and lyrical storytelling back to the desert stage.
