The Big Chill Festival - Armidale

The Big Chill Festival is back for its sixth year, bringing legendary vibes and unforgettable experiences to the Armidale Showground. Featuring a unique lineup, including The Presets, The Jungle Giants, Meg Mac, Sneaky Sound System, Mia Wray, Pierce Brothers, No Cigar and many more.

The Big Chill is more than just music. It's a celebration of Armidale's vibrant local culture, showcasing award-winning craft beers, local distilleries, wineries, and gourmet food trucks. Attendees will enjoy world-renowned BBQ pitmasters smoking up a storm, interactive experiences, and cozy fire pits under the open sky.

For families, there's a dedicated "Little Chillers" zone, a chilli-eating competition for the brave-hearted, and the cold-water Big Chilly Dip for those brave, hardy souls. Throughout the weekend, we'll be putting Armidale's booming creative culture front and centre, positioning the region as a go-to cool climate destination for food, drinks, and adventure.

It's the party you don't want to miss, a weekend waiting to welcome those who love the bracing air, an unmatched vibe, and the sound of live music.

So what are you waiting for? Bring the folks, bring the kids, bring the yin to your yang, bring a hearty appetite for good times, good grub, good dance moves and your adventure-seeking soul that's waiting to soar.

Proudly supported by the Destination NSW and Commonwealth Government.
