The story

Dragon Dreaming is a family-friendly camping festival held at Lake Burrinjuck in New South Wales, Australia. The festival spans four days from September 25th to 28th and focuses on live bands and electronic music, particularly psytrance, bass, and downtempo. It has been running independently since 2013 and emphasizes participation in land regeneration.

Dragon Dreaming is a 4-day psytrance, bass, downtempo festival at Lake Burrinjuck in New South Wales, Australia. The September 2026 edition runs 25–28 Sept 2026.

Announced so far: A Strange Wedding, Andy Garvey, Doppel, Lunecell, Spekki Webu, Sun Control Species and Tom Baker. Expect stages split between psytrance, bass and downtempo. The line-up is spread across the 4 festival days, so a full-weekend ticket is the only way to catch every name.

Everything happens at Lake Burrinjuck, in New South Wales. New South Wales is the base for the trip: it is where the affordable beds, the late trains and the after-parties are, and where prices climb fastest as the dates approach.

Dragon Dreaming keeps the same calendar slot each year: September 2026 for this edition, opening on a Friday and closing on a Monday. It falls in autumn, after the summer circuit closes, when flights and rooms come back down in price. That slot matters for the budget — flights and rooms in New South Wales are priced for the festival weekend, not the week around it, so shifting your arrival by a day often saves more than any ticket tier does.

• Takes place at Lake Burrinjuck on Ngunnaway and Wiradjuri land
• Includes workshops and interactive art installations
• Dedicated activities for kids
• Land regeneration activities, such as planting native trees
• Running since 2013

What the trip costs from Paris

No ticket price is published for this edition yet, so the total below covers travel and a bed only. It updates automatically as soon as the organiser opens sales.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Dragon Dreaming are sold in waves and the cheapest wave is gone long before the line-up is complete.
2. 2Then price the travel from Paris — Cinderella compares train, bus, car and flight for the same dates, and the cheapest option is not always the obvious one.
3. 3Reserve 5 nights rather than 4: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4Follow Dragon Dreaming on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.

Travel tips from Paris

• The site itself is Lake Burrinjuck, in New South Wales.
• Book a bed in New South Wales early — rooms around a festival sell out before the last ticket tier does.
