Last Horrah for the Big Red Bash in 2027 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
🎸🎶 ONE LAST BIG RED BASH
Organisers have announced the 2027 Birdsville Big Red Bash will be the last, as they unveil the line-up for the iconic outback festival's final run.
The festival will return to Big Red outside Birdsville from July 6–8, 2027, after this year's event was cancelled due to flooding at the site. 🌧️
❗️Organisers say rising costs, recent weather challenges and the huge logistical demands of staging a festival in one of Australia's most remote locations have made it increasingly difficult to sustain.
Founder Greg Donovan said it was an emotional decision after more than a decade of bringing thousands of music fans into the Queensland Outback.
👉“As a family we feel very sad and emotional that the Big Red Bash chapter is coming to an end.”
“Our focus now is on making 2027 a very special final celebration with everyone who has been part of its story.”
The final line-up includes Missy Higgins, Hoodoo Gurus, Leo Sayer, The Living End, Shannon Noll, Kate Ceberano, The Whitlams, Tim Finn and Troy Cassar-Daley.
🎟️ Tickets go on sale November 12.
