The festival will take place across multiple venues in Mullumbimby on July 12 & 13, offering two full days of exceptional live music and celebrating the best in original songwriting and performance.
In response to strong demand, single day tickets are now available, alongside full weekend passes, via the festival website: www.mullumrootsfest.com
Festival Director Lou Bradley says:
“We’re so excited to share the full program and incredibly proud of the calibre of artists who’ll be lighting up our stages in July. We’re keeping this first festival small and sustainable, with capped ticket numbers to ensure a relaxed, friendly experience for artists, audiences, and local businesses. We can’t wait to welcome everyone to Mullum!”
Adding to the festival’s fun and flair are two themed highlights.
“We’re especially looking forward to Psychedelic Saturday at the Civic Hall, where Ellis D Fogg’s legendary light show will accompany performances from Robert Forster, Dog Trumpet, and Tamam Shud. Then on Hootenanny Sunday, we turn up the twang with a country-leaning line-up including Claire Anne Taylor, Clelia Adams, Rod McCormack, and Felicity & Josh. Boot scooters welcome!” says Lou.
Festivalgoers can hop on the Love Bus to travel between venues including the Civic Hall, Bowlo, Ex-Services Club, and Courthouse Hotel, where performances will run from late morning into the night.

The Mullum Roots Festival will open its inaugural weekend with a celebratory Gala Opening Night at the Mullumbimby Civic Hall on Friday, July 11 - a feel-good evening of music, community and dancing that sets the tone for the weekend ahead.
Hosting the evening is none other than local icon Mandy Nolan. A powerhouse of wit and insight, Mandy will bring her trademark humour and irreverence to the stage, guiding audiences through a night of stellar performances.
Headlining is acclaimed guitarist and storyteller Jeff Lang, whose raw, blues-infused sound has made him a fixture on the national touring circuit. Also taking the stage is the ever-inspiring Biggest Little Town Choir, bringing their signature spirit and soaring harmonies to a special hometown performance.
The night rounds out with a full-blown party as local 10-piece big band Soul’d fires up for a high- energy finale. Bring your friends, bring your dancing shoes - this is one night you don’t want to miss.
Festival Director Lou Bradley says the night reflects the heart of the festival:
“We wanted to start the festival with something joyful and inclusive. What better way than a night of incredible music, community voices and good vibes in the Civic Hall?”
