Dear Bash Community,
 
We have some important news to share. The Birdsville Big Red Bash will be taking a breather in 2025. After running non-stop since 2013 (with a covid break in 2020), our team is ready for a reset and recharge.
 
As the most remote music festival in the world, building our mini desert city from scratch each year is a massive undertaking. After 11 massive years, it’s time for a well-deserved break – think of it like a gap year after 12 years of school! Just like Glastonbury’s ‘Fallow Year’, we’re taking a pause to come back even stronger.
 
We know this might be a letdown for those planning to attend in 2025 and for businesses in Outback Queensland that benefit from the event. That’s why we wanted to give you plenty of notice.
 
SAVE THE DATE FOR 7TH – 9TH JULY 2026! The Birdsville Big Red Bash will be back, refreshed, and ready to Rock the Simpson once again.
 
In the meantime, if you’re looking for a Bash fix next year, check out the Broken Hill Mundi Mundi Bash from 21-23 August 2025 at Belmont Station. The line-up drops mid-October, and tickets will be available at the end of the month. We’re keeping the numbers fairly steady to ensure a great experience for everyone!
 
Thanks for all your incredible support. We’ll miss you in 2025 but can’t wait to see you in 2026!
 
Rock on! 
 
The Big Red Bash Team

WILL YOU BE JOINING US?

Every July, Birdsville’s iconic Big Red Bash kicks off under the open skies of Australia’s Simpson Desert. Thousands of people from around Australia, and the world, head into the desert for the most remote music festival on the planet.

It all starts with the journey. Whether you set out on a road trip, hop on a plane or jump on the Rock’n’Roll Charter Bus you’re in for an epic outback adventure. Birdsville’s concert is definitely off the beaten track – but that’s what makes it so special!

SO, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

However you get there, you’ll have three nights under the stars, dancing to the sweet sounds of Aussie music legends as they rock the desert.

 You’ve never had a better reason to get your family or friends together and head into the outback. Grab your camping gear, hook up the trailer or caravan or hire a tent. But don’t miss out on your chance to get down in the red dust at this fantastic all-ages Australian outback music festival. Everyone’s invited. You can even bring your dog!

Big Red Bash is a unique high profile outback event, which draws significant media coverage.
