Birdsville Big Red Bash

The Big Red Bash is a magical, uniquely Australian outback experience where people of all ages and nationalities are welcome. Since its launch in 2013, this family-friendly combo of desert camping and concerts has grown in popularity to become a ‘must-do’ bucket-list event.

Every year, iconic Aussie musicians head to Birdsville, on the edge of the Simpson Desert in south-west Queensland. They travel out of town towards Big Red – the highest sand dune in the Simpson Desert. And there, under a vast, star-speckled canopy they spend three nights entertaining people from all around Australia and beyond.

Birdsville’s Big Red Bash brings people together for the world’s most remote concert. Everyone’s welcome, from family groups and grey nomads with a taste for outback adventure, to backpackers working through their Aussie bucket lists.
