The Mundi Mundi Bash has once again proven its reputation as a quintessential celebration of Australian spirit, music, and community, by setting a new World Record at the inaugural Mundi Mundi Bash Big Blue Day. An unprecedented 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. With every ticket and blue headwear purchase contributing to the cause, the event raised a remarkable $115,888 to support Beyond Blue’s mission to provide a safe and reliable space for those in need.
Festival Founder and Managing Director of the Outback Music Festival Group, Greg Donovan, reflected on the significance of the event, saying, “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. 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.”
