Last year, Strawberry practically sold out before the lineup even dropped. The year before, same story. Strawberry Fields 2026 is nearly upon us, and it will sell out again. Here's how to not miss out!

20–22 November. The Wildlands, Tocumwal, NSW. Five stages, 1km of Murray River frontage, 15,000 people, and a production that somehow gets better and better every single year. From its scrappy psytrance doof roots to one of the most respected music and arts festivals on the planet. Dust off your dust rags, and find your glitter. Strawbs has never been more worth showing up for.

A large crowd of festival-goers gathered along the sandy bank of a wide river on a hot sunny day, with eucalyptus trees lining the opposite shore. Many are in swimwear, some wading into the water, surrounded by a lively outdoor festival atmosphere.


Getting a Ticket Just Got a Whole Lot Simpler

You know the drill. You set your alarm. The ballot opens. You refresh the page. You refresh it again. You scramble. You cross your fingers and your toes. Maybe you get a ticket. Maybe you don't. And somewhere in the background, a ticketing platform is pocketing booking fees and calling it a day.

For a lot of festivals, that's just how it works. For Strawberry Fields, this didn't sit right.

That’s why five years ago, Strawberry Fields made a choice. To partner with Humanitix, a ticketing platform that donates 100% of booking fee profits to charities fighting to end extreme poverty. It’s a partnership that’s only grown stronger ever since.

Meet the Strawberry Fields 2026 Ballot

How does it work? Good question. You register before tickets go on sale and skip the chaos entirely. No queue. No countdown clock. No refreshing a page until your F5 key gives up.

There are 2 key ways to register:

Auto-purchase: store your card details at registration. If you're selected in the ballot, your ticket is purchased automatically. You don't have to do a thing. Crazy, right? 🤩

Notify-me: get a notification when selected and you have 24 hours to complete your purchase manually.

Less stress. Less wasted hours. More time to dream up your perfect Strawberry outfit.

A little disclaimer: Tickets will be allocated via the ballot, but the unfortunate reality is more people want to head to Strawberry than there are tickets available, so not everyone will be selected, but registering early gives you the best chance! If you miss out don't fret, the public sale and resale are also an option! You've got to be in it to win it! 🤞
