The Gum Ball 2025

Your beloved boutique escape, The Gum Ball returns for a monumental 20th anniversary in 2025.

Held on the hallowed soil of Dashville, Wonnarua Country, on the last weekend of the April school holidays, 25th, 26th, and 27th of April 2025.

There is also the option for an early entry ticket, with a special Thursday evening concert intended.

The Gum Ball is an intimate and family friendly celebration of music, arts and culture, hosting an impressive line-up of Australian and international acts, plus the cream of local rising stars. The festival also features a tantalising mix of food, market stalls, kids activities, indigenous learning, creative workshops and other natural wonders.

PLEASE READ ABOUT YOUR TICKETING OPTIONS

Your ticketing options include

Full weekend tickets | Which are three days of festival and three nights camping, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Head on out the Monday when you're ready. To break down the value of this ticket, an adult ticket is generally valued around $95 per day, which includes camping and the ability to BYO. So compare the market and you'll see its a pretty good value festival option.

Flexi Single day tickets | Basically you pay (slightly more than) a full weekend ticket for a flexi ticket and this gives you the ability for a partial refund once you have checked out of the festival. Flexi tickets exist because of the way the festival is set up. We'd rather not have to worry about staunch gate security each morning. Simply pay in full, and claim the refund when you check out. This means that a flexi ticket is the only single day ticket option for anyone who wants to come Friday and/or Saturday, but not the whole weekend.

Saturday and Sunday | tickets pretty straight forward concept, festival entry from 9am each day.

Sunday only ticket | come in on the last day and dominate.

Early entry Thursday night camping ticket | Perfect for those with a big rig or van. Goes well with a Full Weekend ticket, Thursday night concert, gives you four magical nights of shenanigans.

Family Bundle Tickets | Handy for some families with a certain amount of clinger-oner-ers. Hit the drop down to see if they suit you're requirement.

Vehicle and Trailer passes | In order to preserve campground space, if you wish to bring any kind of vehicle into the campground, such as a passenger vehicle, bus, ute, 4wd towing a caravan or camper, then you need to purchase a suitable vehicle pass. This ensures that only required vehicles are brought into the campground. There is free parking outside of the campground if you need to bring a vehicle, but don't need it to camp.
