Win tickets to Strummingbird Festival!

Australia’s largest touring country music festival Strummingbird is back for 2026, unveiling a stacked lineup led by global megastar Post Malone.

Strummingbird will roll through Ballarat, Newcastle and the Sunshine Coast this October, bringing together a mix of international heavyweights, alt-country risers, country favourites and homegrown talent including Post Malone who returns to Australia, three years after his last sold-out national tour. Joining Posty, will be internationals Bailey Zimmerman, Cooper Alan, Stella Lefty, Dexter & The Moonrocks, Brad Cox, Cam, Kaitlin Butts, Sons of the East, Max Jackson and Sara Berki. Each event will also spotlight a local talent, with Lewis Love (Ballarat), Loren Ryan (Newcastle) and Sammy White (Sunshine Coast) joining the bill, while line dancing sessions led by Maddison Glover return across all dates.

With camping options, travel packages and a reputation for rowdy sing-alongs and high-energy performances, Strummingbird 2026 is shaping up as one of the year’s biggest country events.
