“We’re thrilled to be playing our first Bash. It’s wonderful to still find a few rites of passage we have not ticked off the list.” – Tim Freedman The Whitlams
The Whitlams are one of Australia’s most enduring and poetic bands, led by the unmistakable voice and storytelling of Tim Freedman. Rising to fame in the late ’90s with the ARIA Award-winning album Eternal Nightcap, they became household favourites with songs like “No Aphrodisiac,” “Thank You (For Loving Me at My Worst)” and “Blow Up the Pokies.”
Known for their heartfelt lyrics, piano-driven melodies and rich connection with audiences, The Whitlams bring a unique blend of wit, nostalgia and emotional depth to every stage. In 2026, they make their Big Red Bash debut – ready to let their desert ballads drift across the dunes for the very first time.
