Bush Bands Bash 2025

Now in its 21st year, Bush Bands is fast becoming the premier music development program for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander bands and artists from remote locations across Australia.

From humble beginnings as a space for Indigenous bands from the bush to play in Mparntwe/Alice Springs, Bush Bands now attracts applications from all over remote NT, SA, WA and QLD.

This year's Bush Bands Bash promises to be another unforgettable experience for music lovers of all backgrounds and ages, uniting communities in a smoke, vape and alcohol-free, family-friendly setting. Join us for an unforgettable night of music, language and culture!
