The ballot is now open for Golden Plains Eighteen. The younger sibling of Meredith Music Festival returns in 2026 for another weekend of music, nature and good vibes.

Golden Plains Eighteen takes place over the Victorian Labour Day weekend (Saturday 7 March to Monday 9 March) at the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre near Meredith on Wadawurrung Land.

The ballot is open from now until 10:18pm AEDT, Monday 13 October via goldenplains.com.au.

Although the lineup remains a mystery until the ballot is drawn, organisers have this to say about what punters can expect from the bill:

“A golden treasure trove. Infinite delights across two days and two nights. Heaven-sent and custom-cut to trace each undulation of an epic long weekend in the Supernatural-est Amphitheatre on earth. All on the one and only stage. Mother nature on the lights.”

And just like Meredith, Golden Plains has a “No dickheads Policy”, ensuring a safe and inclusive space for music lovers to gather together and enjoy tunes from the greatest acts in the world, along with no commercial sponsors, free range camping and BYO.

This year’s Golden Plains was another epic weekend of music that featured PJ Harvey, Fontaines D.C., 2manydjs, Kneecap, Durand Jones & the Indications, Hermanos Gutiérrez and many more.

Golden Plains Eighteen takes place over the Victorian Labour Day weekend at the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre in Meredith on Wadawurrung Land from Saturday 7 March to Monday 9 March. Sign up to the ballot for tickets here.
