EARLY
A brilliant program was organised
for our 19th annual
Nanga weekend music festival –
by a dedicated volunteer committee of music lovers.
The Headline Artists for 2026
Nanga presented a stunning line-up of great Australian roots, folk and contemporary acoustic artists
in a series of intimate concerts, all in the one venue – our transformed Chrysalis.
Austral: CHOONBACKER
Learn how to listen out for chord changes in a Celtic music session and provide rhythm support with bouzouki, mandolin or guitar.
Shani Graham: Death Cafe
Join us for an open, respectful, and friendly conversation about death, dying, and living fully.
At a Death Café, there’s no agenda, no lecture, and no attempt to steer you toward any conclusion — just open dialogue, curiosity, and the shared understanding that talking about death can help us make the most of our (finite) lives.
Whether you’re curious, grieving, pondering, or simply interested in what others have to say, you are welcome here. All perspectives are valued, and everyone is invited to listen as much as they speak.
Please note: This is not a grief counselling session, but a safe space for sharing and reflection.
Announcing Artist Workshops
TUCK SHOP LADIES:
There’s a Song in That!
What do you want the Tuck Shop Ladies to write a song about?
In this brand-new, fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants (if you’re wearing them) workshop, Sam Lohs and Rosie Burgess will turn your suggestions into a song — right then and there. They make no promises about the quality, but they do guarantee plenty of laughter, joyful chaos, creative tangents, and at least one freshly minted, totally improvised, potential banger by the end.
AGUA! Cuban Dance
We can’t promise that you’ll master that sexy fluid hip motion to the vibrant African rhythms and guitar melodies of Son Cubano. You’ll have fun trying though—and then showing off your new moves to the sounds of De Cuba Son a couple of hours later.
After the success of our new venue last year, the Nanga Music Festival will once again be enjoying the benefits of Fairbridge Village. The festival retains its intimate, friendly vibe and everyone will move into the village accommodation – cottages and oval camping.
