2026 marks the seventh edition of Golden Touch Festival, and we couldn't be more excited to continue building one of the South Coast's most celebrated live music events.

Golden Touch was created with one goal in mind – to bridge the gap between emerging independent artists and established touring talent, shining a spotlight on the very best of the local and national music scenes. Since our first festival in 2019, we've proudly hosted incredible acts including Vistas, Somebody's Child, Cassia, Corella, The K's, Fickle Friends, The Royston Club, The Clause, KEO, Casey Lowery, Bears in Trees, and so many more.

Following the huge success of our first-ever two-day festival in 2025, we're back and ready to make 2026 even bigger and better – and this is your chance to be part of it.

Golden Touch is more than just a festival. It's a community where artists and fans connect, where grassroots music venues come alive, and where careers take their next big step. Our lineup is carefully curated each year to showcase artists who share our passion, energy, and vision for music.

We receive hundreds of applications every year, and it's an honour to listen to every single one. We can’t wait to hear what you've been working on – and maybe see you take the stage at Golden Touch 2026.
