THE GUM BALL MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL
RETURNS 24th-26th APRIL 2026

‘As far as Australian festivals go, you’d be hard pressed to find anything that compares to The Gum Ball.’

Running across three glorious nights, 24th, 25th & 26th April 2026, with the additional special prelude warm up concert on Thursday 23rd April, The Gum Ball is held on the majestic bushlands of Dashville (Wonnarua) Lower Belford, Hunter Valley, NSW.

It’s a remarkable achievement, not only to be considered one of the best laid-back festivals in existence, but for this little grass roots ‘bush party’, that kicked off on mum and dads front yard in 2005, to grow to become a bonafide cultural institution for the region, as a hub for musical inspiration and community, creating an awesome platform for artist and audience development, for all those who have contributed to where we have landed, we are incredibly grateful.

'Enjoy music the way nature intended'

In case you hadn't heard, The Gum Ball is a very unique live music experience, designed for all ages and inclinations. It's an event that celebrates diversity, inclusivity and creativity. It strives to deliver inspirational memories and community built around live music, art and friendships.

Boasting onsite bush camping and a popular BYO option, year in year out, the Dashville team have delivered bountiful line ups, full of well-considered and diverse performers, from across Australia and overseas, both emerging and established artists who are destined to impress as they all play one-by-one on the intimate bushland amphitheatre.

For persons interested in the Young Gums Youth Mentorship.

We are so excited to roll out all the bibs and bobs on our most epic of adventures. So saddle up, tell all your friends and get ready for the ride!
