Live Fest Dubbo - Great Southern Nights

LIVE FEST DUBBO

There will be spectacular music and scenery at Dubbo’s Lazy River Estate on Saturday 2 May 2026, featuring multiple ARIA Hall of Fame inductees and some of Australia’s most revered acts;

PAUL KELLY 

MISSY HIGGINS

THE CRUEL SEA

THE CAT EMPIRE

KASEY CHAMBERS 

JESS HITCHCOCK

The beautifully manicured grounds and rolling vineyards leading down to the Macquarie River form a stunning backdrop for this family friendly, licensed/all ages event and is the perfect way to open the 2026 iteration of Great Southern Nights. 

Few line ups capture the depth and breadth of Australian music quite like this. Australian music royalty, these artists share a combined 60+ studio albums,  truckload of ARIA awards and nominations and multiple ARIA Hall of Fame inductions. 

From Paul Kelly’s timeless storytelling to Missy Higgins’ deeply personal, emotionally rich songwriting, these artists have shaped the sound of generations. Kasey Chambers brings her unmistakable voice and raw honesty, while Jess Hitchcock delivers powerful, soul-stirring performances that feel both expansive and intimate.

Balancing this is the laid-back swagger of The Cruel Sea and the joyful, genre-blending energy of The Cat Empire - two acts built for the live stage. Together, this line up moves effortlessly between reflection and celebration, quiet moments and full-body joy, offering a shared experience that feels uniquely Australian and unforgettable in a live setting.
