It's that time of year again: the ballot for Golden Plains Nineteen is now open!

The younger sibling of Meredith Music Festival is back for another weekend of music, nature and community in 2027, taking over Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre near Meredith on Wadawurrung Land from Saturday 6 to Monday 8 March.

The Ballot for Golden is now open until 10:19pm AEDT on Monday 12 October at goldenplains.com.au.

As is the case with this iconic festival, the lineup remains a mystery until the ballot is drawn, with organisers having this to say about the fest:

"A panoramic pleasure trip across two days and two nights at the Supernaturalist Amphitheatre on earth. Same size, same shape, free range camping, BYO, zero commercial sponsors, the No D‑‑khead Policy, and One Stage Fits All."

This year's Golden Plains was another festival for the books and featured Basement Jaxx, Smerz, Cut Copy, Marlon Williams and more.

Golden Plains Eighteen takes place over the Victorian Labour Day weekend at the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre in Meredith on Wadawurrung Land from Saturday 6 March to Monday 8 March. Sign up to the ballot for tickets here.
