The Lyrebird Festival returns in 2026, celebrating the spectacular Megalong Valley with music, art, food and wine, talks and nature walks. Founded and directed by the Bowerbird Collective, this event brings together some of Australia's finest musicians and thinkers for a series of spellbinding concerts and inspiring talks.

Performers: The Bowerbird Collective, Lior, Joseph Tawadros, Alice Morgan and Ronan Apcar, Mindy Meng Wang, and Lotte Betts-Dean, and more!

An iconic Australian species, and evolutionary marvel, the lyrebird represents all that is sacred in the bush. They can be heard in the Megalong Valley imitating the calls of hundreds of other species, as well as producing their own thrilling sounds.

The Lyrebird Festival brings together art, science and conservation, and includes local culinary delights, intimate, world-class performances and art installations.

All events have been scheduled to allow for plenty of time to move between each location. All concerts and other events can be booked separately, or together with a festival pass. Pricing includes a 'Pay what you can' option, and a discounted Festival Pass which entitles the holder to entry to all events. Tickets available soon!
