Tanglewood Festival 2026

Tanglewood Music & Arts Festival brings you a family friendly, BYO music and arts festival located in the beautiful Thornton, Northeast Victoria, just under 2 hours northeast of Melbourne from the 30th of December to the 2nd of January.

Tanglewood hosts a range of bands and producers, from folk, rock n roll, funk, soul, reggae & bluegrass to drum and bass, trance, techno and more, with over 40hours of local artists found in your own backyards.
Plus a diverse mix of market stalls, workshops, healing space, art gallery, performances of every kind, and a stack of kid’s activities for our tiny Tanglers.

There is something for everyone. A home away from home, where everyone can freely express themselves and feel part of the family. We highly value the small and intimate vibe, keeping it to no bigger than 3k gathering to maintain the core values that make Tanglewood such a beautiful, safe and family-friendly New Year’s celebration.
