DINGO 2026

DINGO is coming to the Northern Rivers, with Bangalow and Byron Bay set to host the inaugural DINGO Music & Arts Festival across four days from 8–11 October 2026.

Anchored in jazz and programmed through a contemporary lens, DINGO brings together internationally acclaimed musicians, leftfield selectors, performance artists, chefs and thinkers for four days of performances, conversations and shared experiences. Unfolding across Bangalow’s halls, galleries, record stores and public spaces, the festival invites audiences to move through the town at their own pace, discovering unexpected encounters where music, art and community intersect.

Patrons under 18 can access all licensed festival spaces when accompanied by a responsible adult.
