The story

Sundowner is a festival held on Ngunnawal land in Canberra, Australia, scheduled for Saturday, October 31st. The event includes a diverse lineup of artists performing electronica music. An afterparty is planned for attendees with limited tickets available. The festival is designed for an age group of 18 and older.

Sundowner is a electronica festival at Gang Gang Cafe and Bar in Canberra, Australia. The October 2026 edition runs 31–31 Oct 2026.

Announced so far: Drifting Clouds, Chiaroscuro, Cousin (live), DJ Las Vegas, Dust, Gutwrench Records (presents), Keanu Nelson and Kia (AU) and 8 more.

Everything happens at Gang Gang Cafe and Bar, in Canberra. Canberra · 0 km · about 0 min is the organiser's practical nearby base for accommodation and transfers to the festival site.

Sundowner keeps the same calendar slot each year: October 2026 for this edition, opening on a Saturday and closing on a Saturday. 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 Canberra 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.

• Afterparty at inner city rooftop
• Limited tickets available for afterparty
• Event has a minimum age requirement of 18+
• Cost ranges from $90 to $130

What the trip costs from Paris

Door to door from Paris, a trip to Sundowner works out at roughly €2,085 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 · 27h each way, at €1,979 return.

Planning the trip, step by step

1. 1Book the ticket first: tiers at Sundowner 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 Canberra Airport, check the transfer time to Canberra before booking the earliest departure — the airport bus is usually the cheapest leg of the whole trip.
5. 5Follow Sundowner on Cinderella to be emailed when a ticket price drops or a new tier opens.

Travel tips from Paris

• Fly into Canberra Airport, the closest airport to the site.
• Rail arrivals come through Canberra Station; shuttles usually run from there.
• The site itself is Gang Gang Cafe and Bar, in Canberra.
• Public transport and walking are recommended for reaching the venue.
• Book a bed in Canberra early — rooms around a festival sell out before the last ticket tier does.
