BIG CHILL FESTIVAL ?? The Big Chill Festival is back for its sixth year, bringing legendary vibes and unforgettable experiences to the Armidale Showground on Saturday 16 May 2026. Featuring a powerhouse 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. BIG CHILLY DIP ?? Due to the ongoing drought conditions, the Big Chilly Dip will not take place at Dumaresq Dam in 2026. Instead we have joined forces with The Sunday K - a free community swim to be held at the Monckton Aquatic Centre in Armidale.
