Sydney’s summer music scene this year is seriously strong, but if you’re keen to get your live music fix outside of the city, we’ve got good news. This November, a brand-new festival is bringing four days of art, live music, immersive performances and nature-based fun to the Blue Mountains. Here’s what we know.
The brand new festival, Superposition, will run from November 26-29, 2026, across Dharug and Gundungurra Country – with programming spanning Penrith, Katoomba, Blackheath, Mount Victoria, Medlow Bath and Wentworth Falls. Conceived specifically for the Blue Mountains, the multi-disciplinary fesi will bring together local, national and international artists for a program inspired by the region's landscapes, communities and contemporary culture.
One of the biggest drawcards is Block Party, a street party curated by Mountains-born electronic pop group Hermitude and Haiku Hands, featuring Jamaica Moana, Vv Pete, TOAH and DJ Charlie Villas.
Elsewhere, Homo House will transform Katoomba's Victoria and Albert Guesthouse into an immersive queer arts space, with installations, performances and music. High Tea Dance promises a garden party spanning the guesthouse's grounds and stables, with performances by Dykes on Bikes, Lesbionica, Justin Shoulder and Betty Apple, alongside DJs and live acts. Fun.
There's a whole lot beyond the headline events, too. Visitors can wander through Ace Mart, an art-filled convenience store and community hub, catch a Welcome to Country and Creation Story performance led by Gundungurra man Uncle David King, or get carried away by Accelerations, an exploration of electromagnetic forces and invisible architectures by artists Joyce Hinterding and David Haines.
The program also includes dawn and dusk ambient DJ sets along the Blackheath escarpment, stargazing at Linden Observatory, guided bushwalks, a Mount Victoria ghost tour and late-night activations across local pubs and bars. The Blue Mountains Writers Festival will also present a program within Superposition, alongside MTNS Made: a showcase of local art, music, performance and markets.
To make exploring the festival easier, events have been curated along the Blue Mountains train line, with local residents in Blue Mountains and Western Sydney postcodes eligible for 10 per cent off single tickets.
