Strawberry Fields Festival has officially announced its return to Tocumwal, NSW, taking place from 20th–22nd November, 2026, on the banks of the Dhungala / Murray River. Registrations for the 2026 Ticket Ballot are now open via Humanitix, with the ballot closing on 30th June at 12PM AEST and the draw taking place on 2nd July. Given that the 2025 edition reached a 95% sell-out before any lineup was announced, competition for a spot in the Wildlands this year is expected to be fierce.

This edition brings a brand-new music stage to the festival's beloved layout, expanding on an already world-class program of live and electronic acts across multiple settings. Strawberry Fields 2026 will also introduce meaningful accessibility upgrades, including a low sensory space, accessible viewing platforms and increased amenities, alongside continued supported ticket pathways through its Low Income and First Nations programs.

Beyond the music, the festival doubles down on its reputation for immersive, community-driven experiences, with large-scale art installations, roving performers, workshops and wellness programming woven throughout the weekend. On the sustainability front, established initiatives including reusable crockery, landfill diversion and a carbon offset partnership with Treecreds will be joined by new environmental measures for 2026.

Strawberry Fields continues to use its platform for genuine positive impact, aiming to raise $100,000 for charity through Humanitix for the second consecutive year, while donating a portion of every ticket sold to Yorta Yorta-led projects. The festival also generates an estimated $3.7 million in economic output for the Berrigan Shire annually. With the lineup and further programming still to be revealed, now is the time to register for the ballot and lock in your November.
