The story

The Hopkins Creek Festival is set to take place on November 7-9, 2026, in Taungurung Country, Victoria, Australia. This festival will mark its final edition after running for ten years since its inception in 2016. It has consistently focused on independent music culture and has created an atmosphere of community celebration. The festival features various artists and events, showcasing a commitment to a vibrant musical experience.

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

Announced so far: Powder, Richard Sen, Sleep D, D. Tyrone, dBridge, Dea Barandana, DJ Subaru and Frank Booker and 1 more. Expect stages split between Electronic, House and Techno.

Everything happens at Taungurung Country, in Victoria. Kilmore · 40 km · about 40 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site.

Hopkins Creek Festival 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.

• Final edition in 2026
• Ten years running since 2016
• Celebration of music and community
• Notable bookings include Powder, Sleep D, and Richard Sen

What the trip costs from Paris

Door to door from Paris, a trip to Hopkins Creek Festival works out at roughly €1,175 per person on the cheapest combination we track — a higher-budget weekend, mostly because of the travel leg.

The ticket is only 3% 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 Festival 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. 4If you fly into Melbourne Airport, check the transfer time to Victoria before booking the earliest departure — the airport bus is usually the cheapest leg of the whole trip.
5. 5Follow Hopkins Creek Festival on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.
