Wild Horses festival 2026 

111.jpg

Wild Horses Festival returns in 2026 for our 10 year anniversary — back in the stunning wild lands of Carapooee West, the traditional home of the Dja Dja Wurrung peoples.

It feels surreal writing that. Ten years.
Wild Horses started out like a curious young horse — wandering in engagement parties through vineyards, then charging up into the mountains, learning its legs, finding its rhythm, getting faster and wilder with every run. And then it found home… here in Carapooee. For the last six years this land has held our most beautiful moments — the kind you remember months later like a dream you don’t want to wake up from.

This is Australia’s premium psychedelic gathering — a weekend where the music, art and people all blur into one big, glowing, kaleidoscopic journey. Sunsets that hit you in the chest. Nights that turn into full-blown spaceship missions. Mornings where you’re laughing with strangers who somehow feel like family. Workshops and spaces to reset the body, open the mind, and drop back into yourselfI And most important a community of wild horsies who show up with big hearts, open arms, and free smiles

We keep it quality over quantity, and we hold the line on community and respect. We leave no trace, we look after each other, and we treat the land like the sacred place it is.

Important stuff:
• Limited capacity
• 21+ only
• Zero tolerance for abusive, self-abusive, or anti-social behaviour
• Leave no trace — respect the land and each other

If you’ve been part of this story at any point over the last decade, you already know how special it is. And if you haven’t… this is the one to ride in for.

More details and ticket info soon.

DEKEL - OPEN TO CLOSE . NORTHCOTE THEATRE SATURDAY 19.12 

Wild Horses closes out its 10th anniversary year the only way it could — with Dekel, open to close, for six and a half hours straight.

There are only a handful of artists who know how to unite a crowd like this — to bring an entire dancefloor together as one, to align a room fully into the moment. Dekel is one of them.

Dekel isn't just headlining this one. He's played five Wild Horses festivals, and this November will mark his sixth. His sound has become part of what Wild Horses sounds like — woven into the sonic signature that's carried this festival through a decade. There's no better way to close our 10th anniversary chapter than with an artist we resonate with this deeply. Now he takes over an entire night, start to finish, no one else on the decks.

This is the final event of our 10th anniversary year, and one of the biggest city shows Wild Horses has ever staged — inside a room built for sound. Northcote Theatre has hosted some of music's most legendary names, with soaring ceilings and acoustics few venues can touch. It's also the first time a psychedelic production of this scale has taken over this stage: full lighting design, immersive projection, and a sound system built to match the room.

Expect a night unlike anything Wild Horses has done before — one artist, one journey, six and a half hours, and a production to match the occasion.
