Every great music city needs a great music festival: Under Western Skies is Dubbo's own music spectacle celebrating the art of the Central West. After sold-out events in 2019 and 2021 and our biggest-ever events in 2022 and 2023, they return in September 2024. Dubbo will once again play host to an afternoon and evening of music, food and craft beer! The musical lineup on the main stage will offer something for everyone from acoustic to rock, pop and more from the best local and truly extraordinary touring acts. A kids area will keep the young folks entertained, with an assortment of activities on offer. Under Western Skies is brought to you by the Songwriters and Original Musicians Association of Dubbo Inc (SOMAD), a grassroots not-for-profit incorporated association founded by Dubbo musos. The festival is supported by the NSW Government.
