Back at Strummingbird

After making it to Strummingbird in 2025, I headed back to Kawana Sports Precinct in Bokarina for the 2026 festival.

It was another full day built around the main stage. The photos follow the day from the afternoon crowd and Mack Geiger’s set through to Cooper Alan performing after dark.

There was plenty of time between sets for a few festival photos, including the oversized hat and sunglasses that were hard to miss, before finding a spot on the grass and settling in for the night.

I kept this entry simple: a personal record of another Sunday at Strummingbird and a gallery showing the festival changing from daylight into the night.
