Held over the October long weekend—Friday 4th October, Saturday 5th October, and Sunday 6th October 2024—on the hallowed island in the stream, Dashville, in Wonnarua Country, Hunter Valley NSW, the festival offers a weekend musical camping experience akin to no other.
Dashville Skyline is more than a country music festival. It is a well-orchestrated musical feast that casually meanders across a vast open country landscape, with a sky full of stars and songs. The family-friendly camping festival is a favourite for those who like their music a bit more laid back, perhaps with a bit of cool oozed over their country, or feel in their folk. The popular festival is full of amazing live shows from hand-picked artists from around Australia and the world, with a myriad of artistic collaborations, family activities, and laid-back old-school country-inspired fun.
Tickets for Dashville Skyline 2024 are on sale now at the Dashville Store.
