Can’t be bothered reading? Watch our video below instead.
#1. The music lineup is epic
In 2023, we rocked out to Icehouse, The Angels, Hoodoo Gurus, Furnace and the Fundamentals, Jack Jones, Mi-Sex, Dragon, Kate Cebrano, Thirsty Merc, Pete Murray, Human Nature and more.
At the time of writing, the 2024 lineup is yet to be released but if you’re reading this after the 8th October, you should be able to jump on over to the Mundi Mundi Bash website and see who’s playing.
#2. There’s a ‘Mundi Undi Run’ and it’s hilarious
Staged to raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS), the Mundi Undi Run is a one-kilometre family-friendly fun run which sees festival-goers dress up or down in a wild array of whacky outfits. This event guarantees a laundry load of laughs and if running isn’t for you, don’t worry, many of the participants take it at a walking pace.
#3. The Mundi Mundi Bash is incredibly family-friendly
Families are well catered for at the Mundi Mundi Bash. There’s a huge open area near the concert arena for kids to play as well as plenty of activities for them, such as dunny door painting, a treasure hunt, a talent show, camel rides, a petting zoo and more. It’s so family-friendly you’ll even find kids with their parents in the moshpit right in front of the stage.
#4. It’s also dog-friendly
Dogs are also welcome at the Mundi Mundi Bash. There’s a special section for those camping with dogs and also a section for those wanting to watch the bands with their dogs. Make sure to tell your dog to dress to impress as there’s even a Doggy Fashion Parade.
#5. The Mundi Mundi Bash is BYO everything
You’ll need to bring your own caravan, camper trailer, motorhome or tent as there is no-onsite accommodation. There is also no power, showers, or water hook-up, so you’ll need to be a fairly self-sufficient camper.
However, there are plenty of compost toilets scattered around the Mundi Mundi Bash. But don’t worry, these smell nothing like the old festival port-a-loos of the past.
#6. You get to be part of multiple world-record attempts
2023 saw the Mundi Mundi Bash in NSW wrestle back the world record for the most people doing the Nutbush dance at the same time from the Big Red Bash in QLD. Will this ultimate state-of-origin play out again in 2024? You can also join in a world-record attempt for the most people dressed up in Mad Max costumes.
2024 will see a new Guiness world-record attempted at the Mundi Mundi Bash for the largest human image of Australia. Festival-goers will dress in blue and once again, try to wrestle the record back from the Big Red Bash in QLD.
#7. The sunsets are epic
The sunset is epic and it sets behind the stage and the wind turbines in the distance. It’s pretty memorable to see it from your campchair in the concert arena with an equally epic band playing the background music to nature’s show.
#8. Expect to digital detox
Unless you’ve brought along a Starlink dish, you will have no phone or internet service. You can purchase some connection time at the festival however, the line is pretty long. Alternatively, you can do it ‘the old-fashioned way’ by making use of the Mundi Mundi Bash message board where you leave a hand-written note for your friends telling them you’ve arrived and where to meet.
#9. Your clothes will shrink
Although I’m sure you will come with good intentions to cook for yourself while you’re at the Mundi Mundi Bash, it’s hard to go past the food stalls. There’s a great selection!
#10. You’ll play an important role in raising funds for the Royal Flying Doctors Service
Given that the Royal Flying Doctors Service receives one-third of its funding from donations, the money raised by the Outback Music Festival Group (OMFG) at the Mundi Mundi Bash by attendees is critical to allow them to continue providing the finest care to the furthest corner.
Greg Sam, CEO of the Royal Flying Doctor Service South Eastern Section, said after the 2023 Mundi Mundi Bash, “…It is also a great fundraising boost for the RFDS when it comes to delivering critical healthcare in the bush. On behalf of rural communities, I would like to thank everyone for their effort.”
