WAGGA WEEKENDER is a bold new festival for curious ears and open hearts. It brings a genre-smashing lineup. Big on edge and low on pretence, it’s music made to surprise.
Wagga Wagga Weekender is a gutsy new festival for curious ears. Kicking off in April 2026, it’s a weekend of genre-bending performances in Wagga Wagga’s Civic precinct, plus a showstopper in Ganmain. Think Persian classical to jazz fusion, electro-acoustic to Medieval Chant.
Don’t overthink it. Just listen.
If you don’t want to miss a thing, if you are a pioneer for the new, the quirky, the fun: this is the pass for you. Strictly limited in capacity.
Wagga Weekender Music Festival is supported by the NSW Government through Create NSW. All performances are general admission.
