The story

Hopkins Creek is a festival held in Victoria, Australia, taking place from November 7th to 9th, 2026. It has been celebrated since its inception in 2016, marking its final edition this year due to rising production and living costs. The festival has a strong tradition of independence and community, having hosted numerous artists over its decade-long run, including Powder, Sleep D, Richard Sen, and dBridge.

Hopkins Creek is a electronic festival at Taungurung Country in Victoria, Australia. The November 2026 edition runs 1–1 Nov 2026.

Announced so far: D. Tyrone, dBridge, Dea Barandana, DJ Subaru, Frank Booker, Miscmeg, Powder and Richard Sen and 1 more.

Everything happens at Taungurung Country, in Victoria. Victoria 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.

Hopkins Creek keeps the same calendar slot each year: November 2026 for this edition, opening on a Sunday and closing on a Sunday. 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 Victoria 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.

• This is the final edition of the festival.
• The festival has been running since 2016.
• It takes place in Taungurung Country.
• Notable artists include Powder, Sleep D, and Richard Sen.

What the trip costs from Paris

Door to door from Paris, a trip to Hopkins Creek works out at roughly €1,222 per person on the cheapest combination we track — a higher-budget weekend, mostly because of the travel leg.

The ticket is only 7% of that: the rest is getting there and sleeping somewhere, which is exactly the part most ticket sites leave out.

Cheapest travel we price is air · 15h 41m each way, at €1,070 return.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Hopkins Creek 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 2 nights rather than 1: the last night of a festival almost always ends after the last train home.
4. 4Follow Hopkins Creek on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.

Travel tips from Paris

• The site itself is Taungurung Country, in Victoria.
• Book a bed in Victoria early — rooms around a festival sell out before the last ticket tier does.
