Sodden Mundi Mundi offers complimentary day as sun shines on Broken Hill festival
After record rains drenched Broken Hill ahead of the Mundi Mundi music festival and ticketholders were turned away, organisers take advantage of welcome sunshine to open the gates for a complimentary day.
The final day of the Mundi Mundi Bash music festival in Broken Hill is underway despite heavy rain earlier in the week, which prevented thousands of attendees from accessing the festival campsite. Organisers have now opened the gates to allow free entry for remaining guests due to drier weather and sunshine. The festival, which began with record rainfall and mud, saw 75mm of rain over 11 days, equating to one-third of Broken Hill's annual rainfall.
Despite the muddy conditions that initially turned away about 25-30% of the campsite, around 10,000 people still managed to attend the festival. Organiser Greg Donovan promised to let any remaining turned-away festivalgoers enter for free on the final day. The event has featured performances from Jessica Mauboy, Troy Cassar Daly, and the Teskey Brothers, with the final lineup including The Whitlams, Baby Animals, John Butler, and Jon Stevens.
