Welcome to Australia’s newest music festival
Down a dusty road, camped beneath the stars, dancing in the grass with friends old and new. This is Bloomfield, the first festival of spring.
As our days grow longer and the sun becomes warmer, we celebrate the return of good times with good people through live music, interactive workshops and global cuisine. Hosted in pristine bushland alongside the Shoalhaven River, a feast for the senses patiently awaits.
Tickets below, see you amongst the spotted gums.

Welcome home
The festival is produced by yours truly, Holy Pavlova, an event production and booking agency proudly based on the NSW South Coast. It’s not our first rodeo, and sure as hell won’t be our last. But it might just be our best.
We’ve been wishing, wanting and dreaming this festival into existence for what feels like a small lifetime. Bloomfield is the culmination of patience, creativity and desire assembled into a shared experience capturing the blossoming energy of life as we emerge from a winter slumber. Most importantly, Bloomfield is home. Home to birds, trees and waters. Home to live music, to the plentiful fruits of our labour. And as they say, mi casa es su casa.

Throw it in the boot
Tickets & ID. The site is out of reception, download and save these before the drive! Same goes for ID, no matter how old you are. Youth lives forever.
Directions. Plug 1100 Grassy Gully Road, Buangla, NSW into your phone before you leave and don’t swipe out.
Friends. Come with them, although there is plenty of space you can’t reserve campsites.
Warm / Wet Clothes! It does get cold at nights. Rug up and prepare for chill even if the sun is shining, you won’t regret it. Bring something in case it rains too.
Designated Driver. Get home safely, nothing is more important.
Accommodation. Swags, tents, vans, motorhomes. Whatever you bring, make sure they include mattresses, sleeping bags, pillows and blankets.
Light. When your phone dies, you’ll need a torch or headlight.
Water! Bulk drinking water, hydration is king. Bring a refillable water bottle and at least 10L of your own. There is water on-site but it’s best from your camp!
