And many more amazing artists still to come! 

Festival Director Lou Bradley—fresh from the success of the 9th Nimbin Roots Festival, that only just wrapped on October 27th, shares her enthusiasm for this new venture: “We can’t wait to bring the same celebration of original music and artistic expression to Mullumbimby with our sister festival. The experience we’ve gained with Nimbin Roots has taught us how to craft an unforgettable festival, and Mullum Roots will also deliver a world-class event while staying true to our deep sense of community.” 

World-famous artist Reg Mombasa, who is also a member of Dog Trumpet, has designed the exclusive festival artwork. Tickets are limited and already available for purchase! Don’t miss your chance to be part of the very first Mullum Roots Festival.
