Australia’s favourite boutique festival awakens once again with new offerings, expanded spaces and a deepening commitment to community and culture.
Strawberry Fields is heading back to the banks of the Dhungala (Murray River) in Tocumwal, NSW, from 20 to 22 November 2026 for its next unforgettable edition.
After another lightning-fast sell-out of Early Bird tickets a full year in advance, the beloved festival continues to prove itself as a pilgrimage, a reunion and a carefully crafted celebration of music, art and connection.

With the vast majority of tickets traditionally selling before any artists are announced, the team has introduced a fairer Ballot system this year to give more people a genuine shot at tickets.
Registrations for the ballot is open now and will close at 12pm on 30 June, with the draw taking place on 2 July. New accessibility upgrades, including a low-sensory space, and a Pay the Rent donation to Yorta Yorta-led projects are also part of this year’s focus on building a more inclusive and respectful experience.
Behind the scenes, the organisers have been working on exciting new developments, including a brand new stage and expanded spaces to elevate the already ambitious creative program.
Attendees can look forward to warm evenings by the river, spontaneous art encounters, immersive installations and that special Strawberry magic that keeps people coming back year after year, as the festival has become a true tradition for thousands of Australians who value thoughtful curation, strong community vibes and beautiful surroundings.
With free general camping included and options for glamping, transport passes and Thursday early entry available, it’s designed as a full weekend escape. If you’ve been waiting to experience Strawberry Fields for the first time, or you’re a seasoned regular, now is the time to register for the Ballot and secure your spot in one of Australia’s most cherished festivals.
