As far as Australian festivals go, you’d be hard pressed to find anything that compares to The Gum Ball.

 

Running across three glorious nights, Friday 25 to Sunday 27 April, with the additional special prelude warm up concert on Thursday 24 April, the iconic cultural escape The Gum Ball is held on the majestic bushlands of Dashville (Wonnarua) Lower Belford, Hunter Valley. This year, The Gum Ball will celebrate its very special 20th anniversary.


For this little grass roots ‘bush party’, that kicked off on mum and dad's front yard in 2005, it’s a remarkable achievement.


In 20 years, The Gum Ball has grown to become not only one of the best laid-back festivals in existence, but also a bona fide cultural institution for the region. It’s a hub for musical inspiration and community, creating an awesome platform for artists and audiences to come together.


In what has become a volatile world for the music and events industry, The Gum Ball has not only survived, it has prospered and some may say... it could be just beginning.
