The Mundi Mundi Bash has once again proven its reputation as a quintessential celebration of Australian spirit setting a new World Record at the inaugural Mundi Mundi Bash Big Blue Day.

7,243 festival-goers donned in blue from head to toe gathered on the iconic Mundi Mundi Plains to create the largest human image of a country, shattering the previous record of 5,467 set by the Big Red Bash.

The atmosphere was electric as participants rallied behind Beyond Blue, a vital mental health organisation that has been a lifeline for millions across Australia.

Every ticket and blue headwear purchase contributed to the cause raising a remarkable $115,888 to support Beyond Blue’s mission to provide a safe and reliable space for those in need.

“It’s absolutely incredible to see 14,000 people out here on the Mundi Mundi Plains—the biggest Bash yet! Beyond Blue’s work is so important, and to have this level of support from our community is both humbling and inspiring,” Outback Music Festival Group founder and MD Greg Donovan said.

“Big Blue Day is already a staple of the Big Red Bash, and I’m so proud to bring it to Mundi. This record-breaking moment isn’t just about setting a new benchmark; it’s about coming together as a nation, in one of the most stunning and remote locations in Australia, to make a difference in people’s lives.”

The Mundi Mundi Bash, now an integral part of Australia’s outback festival circuit, has not only become a celebration of music but also a cornerstone event that drives economic growth for rural towns and local businesses.

Thousands of festival-goers each year pump millions of dollars into regional economies, ensuring the continued vitality of these communities.

Big Blue Day was already a flagship of the Big Red Bash, this year raising $53,355 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), a cause close to the heart of festival founder, Greg Donovan.
