The inaugural Byron Wellness Festival is coming to Byron Bay this November.

The event is a weekend designed to recharge your body, spark your spirit, and lift your vibe, Byron Wellness Festival is three days of music, movement and meaning, running November 27 to 29 at Red Devils Park, Byron Bay.

Offering daytime dives into a lineup of healing, movement and ceremony practitioners and workshops, all crafted to ground, energise, and bring you back to true balance. When the sun goes down, the festival ignites as festival-goers get to experience live music from Australia’s biggest artists.

Headlining the 2026 music lineup are Boy & Bear, YAIMA and Kim Churchill, joined by Samuel J, Finojet, Kyle Lionhart, Cinnamon Sun and more. Across the three days, festival-goers can expect a soundtrack that moves from soulful singer-songwriter sets to feel-good, sun-soaked anthems, all set against the backdrop of Bundjalung Country.

Music half the story

But music is only half the story. Byron Wellness Festival’s program brings together a lineup of respected practitioners and speakers, including Dr John Surie, who will explore how the body holds stress and tension, Tanya Alijani’s sound baths, naturopath and Medicine Room founder Dominique Livkamal ND, and multi-instrumentalist Christian Dimarco’s sound journeys.

The speaker line-up features Corporate Wellness Architect Meghan Jarvis, while Nadia Bullock leads an immersive yoga journey and Lulu and Mischka bring their chant-and-mantra ceremony.

A blend that sets this festival apart

It’s this music and wellness blend that sets Byron Wellness Festival apart: a space where you can dance to a live set one hour and settle into a breath work session the next, all in service of connection, community and genuine wellbeing.

The Byron Wellness Festival will be held at Red Devils Park, from Friday, November 27 to Sunday, November 29.
