Following a sold-out debut event in 2025, Mullum Roots Festival is set to return July 11-12, 2026. The 2026 festival will take over Mullumbimby village across multiple intimate venues, expanding to include an additional space. This expansion will double seating capacity, allowing more audiences to experience the carefully curated program the festival has quickly become known for.

The first wave of artists brings together celebrated Australian voices across roots, rock, folk and blues, led by double-platinum selling singer-songwriter Alex Lloyd, alongside ARIA Award-winning duo Busby Marou. Also announced are revered and influential names including the satirical and evocative 80’s band The Fauves, Dave Graney, Marcia Howard, Lucie Thorne, Lindy Morrison, country outlaw favourite Bill Chambers, and much-loved local blues artist Jo Jo Smith.
