Two days of food, music and community in the Huon Valley
A Taste of the Huon is one of Southern Tasmania’s most loved outdoor festivals, celebrating local food, music and community in the heart of the Huon Valley. Held across two relaxed days each March, the festival brings people together to enjoy live entertainment, regional flavour and the easy pace of the valley.
In 2026, we return to our roots with a strong local line-up, national headline acts, and more ways to spend the day together.
The entertainment line-up is just the beginning.
More festival details will be announced soon.
Sunday 8 & Monday 9 March 2026
Sunday
Andrew Swift
+ supporting artists
We’re thrilled to announce Andrew Swift as our one of our main acts for A Taste of the Huon.
From flipping burgers to topping ARIA charts, Andrew Swift has carved out his place as one of Australia’s most exciting country artists. With 4 ARIA #1 albums, over 8.3 million streams, and 3 CMAA Golden Guitars, including 2023 Male Artist of the Year, his blend of bold guitars, synth textures, and stadium-ready backbeats hits hard and stays honest.
He’s toured with The Wolfe Brothers and Shannon Noll, lit up festivals across the country, and even taken his music to Nashville’s CMA Fest.
This March, he brings his trademark fire and heart to our Sunday stage.
You won’t want to miss it.
Monday
Mental As Anything
+ supporting artists
We’re excited to welcome Mental As Anything to A Taste of the Huon as our Monday headliner.
What began as a Sydney pub band formed by a group of art students has grown, over fifty years, into one of Australia’s most iconic and beloved acts. With more hit songs than any other Australian band, Mental As Anything’s influence reaches far beyond music, their songs, artwork, and unmistakable style firmly embedded in Australian culture.
In 2026, original members Reg Mombassa and Peter O’Doherty reunite for a special 50th anniversary tour, bringing the band back to the stage for the first time in 25 years. With classics like If You Leave Me, Can I Come Too?, The Nips Are Getting Bigger, and Live It Up, their catalogue has soundtracked generations.
This March, five decades of sharp songwriting, infectious melodies, and unmistakable energy take over the Monday stage at A Taste of the Huon.
