The Gum Ball - More Bands & Full Program

Two weeks out before the 10th annual Gum Ball hits the exquisite bush of Belford in the Hunter Valley, the festival has released its program as well as made three exciting new additions to the impressively diverse program.

The exciting new additions include Australian grunge rock icon Adalita, famed surf film producer Andrew Kidman and his ethereal band The Windy Hills, as well as spectacular local troubadours The Lairs.

The three acts will join bands such as King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Jinja Safari and Adrian Edmondson on the Friday evening, whilst the Saturday program will see  a packed day of genre -hopping with the Hoodoo Gurus performing around 10pm before an all star band led by Nicky Bomba enters stage left to close out the festival in a massive 10 year celebration.

To the delight of festival goers, the popular Silent Disco will be back to keep people busting moves on the dance floor up until 2am each night.

With a full-to-the-brim program including a weekend-long kids workshop and activities program, pro skateboarding demonstrations, loads of delicious food and trinket stalls, boutique cocktail bar and massage parlour, The Gum Ball really is becoming more than your average festival. 

'The festival has worked incredibly hard over the years to set a foot hold and to have the calibre of artist like Adalita, as surprise additions two weeks out is a massive pat on the back. Thing is the music is just one element of The Gum Ball, there's so much extra fun to be had for everyone, I can't wait.' says organiser Matt Johnston
