Great Southern Nights returns in 2026, bringing a statewide celebration of live music to stages and streets across NSW.

With more than 300 incredible gigs taking place from the coastlines of Brunswick Heads, Newcastle and Wollongong to Boggabilla, Wagga Wagga and everywhere in between, the program invites music lovers to explore live music right across the state.

This year also introduces Live Fest - a brand new series of one day music experiences landing in Dubbo and Tamworth, bringing big line ups and festival energy to regional communities and inviting whole towns to come together under a shared love of loud music.

And in another exciting return, Groovin the Moo will make a special comeback with a one-off regional show in Lismore, adding another unmissable event to this year's program.

A range of iconic Northern Rivers venues will play host to Great Southern Nights artists this year. Catch Dune Rats, The Grogans, Ball Park Music, Meg Mac, Sons of the East, Emma Donavan and more.
