Outback festivals Birdsville Big Red Bash and Broken Hill Mundi Mundi Bash have announced their lineups for 2024. The Big Red Bash will run from Tuesday, 2nd to Thursday, 4th July at the Big Red Sand Dune 35km west of Birdsville, and the Mundi Mundi Bash will take place from Thursday, 15th to Saturday, 17th August on Mundi Mundi Plains.
Tina Arena and Colin Hay have been locked in to headline the Big Red Bash, while James Reyne tops the list for Mundi Mundi. Acts like Jon Stevens, Ian Moss, Baby Animals, Diesel, Mark Seymour, and Vanessa Amorosi will appear at both festivals.

There’ll also be sets from alt-rock acts Sarah McLeod and Hayley Mary, blues and roots stalwart Ash Grunwald, folk duo the Pierce Brothers, and more. See below for the full lineups and the relevant ticketing details.
“Our events are run on two of the most iconic Outback locations in Australia, with the Big Red Bash also taking bragging rights as the most remote music festival in the world. I don’t think there’s anything like our events anywhere else on the planet,” festival owner and managing director Greg Donovan said in a statement.
There’ll be plenty of other activities away from the music, including world record attempts for the largest ‘Nutbush City Limits’ dance-off and a Mad Max dress-up (at Mundi Mundi). There’ll also be outdoor film screenings, yoga, camel rides, helicopter flights, and more.
