Strawberry Fields Festival (Tocumwal, Australia) 2026

Strawberry Fields runs from 20 to 22 November 2026 at The Wildlands near Tocumwal, on the Murray River in southern New South Wales. The festival has become one of the most respected independent events in Australia, built on a bush site with the river running through it and a reputation for programming well ahead of the commercial circuit.

The booking covers the deeper and stranger ends of electronic music rather than the festival mainstream, and the site design matters as much as the line up: multiple stages placed through the bush and along the river so the weekend works as a landscape rather than an arena. The festival publishes an official aftermovie for each edition, with films going back to 2019.

Tickets are sold through Humanitix. Tocumwal sits on the Victorian border around three hours north of Melbourne and six from Sydney, with Albury the nearest airport of any size. Late November on the Murray means hot days and warm nights, and the river is part of the site rather than a view, so swimming is part of the weekend. For an Australian independent music festival, Strawberry Fields is the benchmark.
