Good Gumnuts Festival is celebrating a landmark fifth edition with one of its strongest lineups to date, announcing The Temper Trap and New Zealand's BENEE as headliners for the 5th, 6th and 7th of March, 2027. The all ages music, arts and camping festival returns to the Agriplex in pataway/Burnie, Tasmania, continuing its mission to deliver world-class live music to the state's North West Coast.

Founded by Harry Badcock and Charlotte Grey as a one-off celebration following their first wedding anniversary, Good Gumnuts has grown steadily into one of regional Australia's most beloved independent festivals. The 2027 bill adds serious depth beneath the headliners, with Dune Rats, Example (UK), Luca Brasi, Meg Mac, Vera Blue and Winston Surfshirt confirmed for the second tier, alongside personal founder picks Betty Taylor, The Slims and PARK RD (NZ). A packed undercard rounds out the programme with acts including Babe Rainbow, Press Club, Sycco, Teenage Joans, Waax and many more.

For Badcock and Grey, reaching five years is something of a surprise given the festival's humble origins. "The first Good Gumnuts was going to be a one-off," Badcock explains. "Then we loved it so much, especially bringing music to the Coast, that we kept going. Heading into year five is pretty surreal." The 2027 edition also introduces limited VIP tickets for the first time, marking the festival's most significant format evolution since its inception.

Presale tickets for registered customers open at 9am AEST on Wednesday 23rd September, 2026, with general sale following at 9am AEST on Monday 28th September, 2026. Registration is available through the Good Gumnuts Festival website. Whether you're a returning camper or planning your first trip to Tasmania's North West Coast, this fifth anniversary edition looks set to be the most memorable Good Gumnuts yet.
