Yours & Owls Festival has officially locked in its return for 2026, with organisers confirming the beloved coastal event will take place across 3rd - 4th October, 2026 in Wollongong on Dharawal Country. The early announcement signals the comeback of the fan-favourite “Gong Christmas”, with excitement already building despite no lineup details being revealed just yet.

The 16+ festival has become a staple of the Australian music calendar, known for blending major international acts with standout local talent in a vibrant seaside setting. While artists are still under wraps, organisers have urged fans to sign up early for presale access, hinting that demand is expected to be high once tickets are released.

The announcement keeps things simple but energetic, with the festival’s signature tone returning front and centre as it gears up for another year. With previous editions delivering packed lineups and sell-out crowds, Yours & Owls continues to cement its reputation as one of the country’s most anticipated spring events.

With more details still to come, including the full lineup and ticket release dates, fans are encouraged to stay tuned and secure presale access early. As Wollongong prepares to host another massive weekend of live music, Yours & Owls Festival 2026 is already shaping up to be a highlight of the year.
