Golden Plains Festival

Golden Plains Festival is one of Australia’s most respected boutique music festivals, known for its relaxed atmosphere, strong community ethos, and curated lineups spanning indie, electronic, soul, rock, and experimental music. Held annually at the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre in Victoria, the festival is organized by the same team behind Meredith Music Festival.

Unlike many large-scale festivals, Golden Plains is celebrated for its “no corporate sponsorship” philosophy, creating a unique environment focused entirely on music and community. The festival features three days of continuous live performances from Australian and international artists, with carefully curated lineups that emphasise quality and discovery over commercial trends.

Attendees camp on-site, contributing to the festival’s communal culture and immersive experience. The natural amphitheatre setting enhances the atmosphere, allowing audiences to experience performances in an open-air rural environment.

Golden Plains is known for its strong fan culture, often attracting repeat attendees who value its inclusive, laid-back, and musically adventurous identity. It is considered one of Australia’s premier independent music festivals and a key part of the country’s live music ecosystem.
