Team Dashville x

Dashville, 18 years of hosting special events.

Dashville is very much centred around live music and it was The Gum Ball that started it all back in 2004.

A humble music and arts festival with around 3000 campers over 3 days. It goes without saying that a monumental amount of blood, sweat and tears went into establishing that event and the site over those formative years. To be here 18 years later is a glorious achievement for any festival.

In 2007, PigSty In July became a winter banger, all about dressing up and chowing down on decadent food and booze. Just what the doctor ordered in those winter months.

In 2015, another 3 day music and culture festival was added. Dashville Skyline, known as the Cosmic Country Weekender, held over the October long weekend with loads of old school Americana, folk, alt country and psych rock styles.

In 2017 we couldn't resist the urge of Thrashville. A slightly heavier themed one day festival, for lovers of all things punk, rock and metal.

Throughout the warmer months between September to April, Dashville sporadically opens up its campground for a small concert series called DASHVILLE NIGHTS, with dinner and camping over some weekends.

If you haven't experienced any of our events, or would like to hear more, you should jump over to the events pages and sign up. You and your family won't regret it.

Dashville is a very relaxing place to host events both large & small.

Based on the slow sustainable growth of these Dashville run events, various facilities have been afforded at the site in order to make it easy for the next event. Hot showers, site wide power, shelters, toilets, bars, light towers, marquees,,roads etc are just some of the facilities available that make hosting an event at Dashville an easy and affordable option.
The site has just had a makeover with accessible paths placed throughout the arena and an accessible ramp put in place going up to a viewing platform

There is also a 22ft wide x 5tf high skateboard ramp at the site.

The camping scenario is all natural clean flat bush land, with well draining sandy loam soil.

If you would like to consider Dashville as a venue for your next public or private function, then please feel free to submit an enquiry.

We look forward to speaking with you soon!
