AFTER A YEAR OFF, THE BASH IS BACK

Every July, Birdsville’s iconic Big Red Bash kicks off under the open skies of Australia’s Simpson Desert. Thousands of people from around the country – and the world – make the journey to experience the most remote music festival on the planet.

After taking a break in 2025, the Bash is back, and it’s shaping up to be unforgettable. The year away has only made the return even more special.

It all starts with the journey. Whether you’re hitting the road, flying in, or jumping aboard 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 exactly what makes it so unique.

So, what are you waiting for?

However you get there, you’ll soak up three incredible nights under the stars – dancing, singing and celebrating to the soundtrack of Australia’s favourite artists as they rock the Simpson Desert.

There’s never been a better reason to round up your family and mates and head into the outback. Bring your camping gear, hook up the trailer or caravan, or hire a tent – the choice is yours. Just don’t miss your chance to kick up the red dust at Australia’s ultimate all-ages outback music festival. Everyone’s welcome – you can even bring your dog!
