THE inaugural Broken Hill Mundi Mundi Bash has been rescheduled, with the event now set to take place in September.
The festival, which will be presented by Birdsville Big Red Bash promoters Outback Music Festival Group, was originally scheduled to take place in August. It will now take place from September 23-25.
Some of Australian music's biggest names will perform at the event, in front of the backdrop of the Barrier Ranges.
Artists confirmed for the festival include Paul Kelly, John Williamson, Kate Ceberano, Ian Moss, Mi-Sex, Shannon Noll, Vika & Linda, Dragon, Glenn Shorrock and Wendy Matthews.
Unfortunately New Zealand based artist Tim Finn has had to withdraw due to changes to the trans-Tasman travel bubble. Tim has been replaced by Russell Morris. Thirsty Merc and Caitlyn Shadbolt have also been added to the line-up.
Outback Music Festival Group director and founder Greg Donovan said the event had been in the works for a number of years.
Kate Ceberano said the event would provide a rare opportunity for music lovers.
"It will be such a great opportunity to be with families (and their pets) under the beautiful starry NSW skies of Broken Hill, in the cradle of the Barrier Ranges on the Mundi Mundi Plains," she said.
"I'm sure the event will become a yearly pilgrimage for lovers of live music."
The three-day all ages event is dog friendly and will be the biggest event ever staged in Outback NSW.
In addition to great music, there will be a Nutbush City Limits World Record dance off attempt, comedy, outdoor film screenings, scenic helicopter flights and camel rides.
The event will also feature the Mundi Mundi Undie Run, which is bound to provide plenty of laughs, while raising funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
It will also provide visitors with the chance to explore local history museums and art collections.
The festival will take place at Belmont Station, which is 9km north of Silverton and 35km north of Broken Hill.
Tickets will go on sale from March 23.
