The Teskey Brothers, John Stevens, John Butler, Jessica Mauboy and The Whitlams – that’s just a taster of the world-class musical acts that will converge on the Mundi Mundi plains outside Broken Hill in August.

Launched in 2022 as an offshoot of the hugely popular Big Red Bash in Birdsville, the Mundi Mundi Bash has fast become an entertainment force in its own right, attracting some of Australia’s best local talent.

Set to run from August 20-22, this year’s Bash boasts more than 22 artists performing across three nights, with 15,000 camping and music fans expected to make the pilgrimage to the Mundi Mundi plains, about 40km outside Broken Hill.

Around 95 per cent of available tickets have already been sold at the time of writing, so if you’re interested in taking part in this uniquely Aussie experience, don’t delay.

Other big names set to take the stage include Leo Sayer, Tim Finn, Richard Clapton, Troy Cassar-Daley, Wendy Matthews and The Radiators.

Introduced for this year is the Bash Choir, described as “a fun, feel-good event” that encourages festivalgoers to become part of a choir to raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

The Bash Choir event will replace the previous year’s ‘Nutbush’ world record attempt and will be the world’s biggest outback choir.

Those who have attended the Mundi Mundi Bash before know that watching some of Australia’s best musicians perform under the stars is only part of its appeal.

It’s also a convocation of camping enthusiasts from around the country, with caravans, motorhomes and tents all welcome on the sprawling red dirt site.

A good way to stay abreast of everything that’s happening during the festival is to download the Bash app to your smartphone. There is no mobile phone reception at Mundiville, so the Bash app will be your sole source of information.

Many who attend the Mundi Mundi Bash expand their visit into a longer road trip and both Silverton and Broken Hill are well worth exploring in their own right.

Broken Hill is a long way from anywhere, so make sure your NRMA roadside assistance membership is up to date and you’ve had your vehicle serviced recently before you set out.

How do I get tickets to the Mundi Mundi Bash?

Head to the Mundi Mundi Bash website. You’ll need to purchase a general admission ticket and (if you’re bringing a vehicle) a vehicle entry pass.

How do I get to the Mundi Mundi Bash?

During the Mundi Mundi Bash a temporary ‘pop-up city’, known as Mundiville, appears on Belmont Station outside Broken Hill.

To get there, head north-west out of Broken Hill via Brookfield Avenue. This becomes Horsington Drive and then Silverton Road, which continues all the way through Silverton and then veers right. Follow it past the Mundi Mundi Lookout and Umberumberka Reservoir until you see the signs for Mundiville.

The road is sealed and accessible to all motor vehicles, but the only fuel available is in Broken Hill – an 80km round trip – so make sure you fill up before you leave.

Can children attend the Mundi Mundi Bash?

Yes, the Mundi Mundi Bash is an all-ages event with many activities (both free and paid) geared towards kids, including a play area, clue hunt and petting zoo.

Are dogs welcome at the Mundi Mundi Bash?

While dogs are permitted at the Bash, there are strict rules about where Fido can go – so make sure you read up on the dos and don’ts before you set off with doggo in tow.

What do I need to bring?

Bring everything you need to be self-sufficient for the duration of your stay. This includes shelter, food, water, and cooking equipment.

What is the weather like at the Mundi Mundi Bash?

You’ll be in the Aussie desert during winter, so expect nighttime temperatures in the single digits and a slow climb to around 16-18ºC during the day.
