Mark 2 May On Your Calendar For The 2026 Trundle Abba Festival

February 5, 2026 By Roxane Manley

The festival is back on the Trundle main street in 2026. Pictured above is an image of the main street from the 2017 Trundle ABBA Festival where Amitie led 2,700 people in a world record attempt for the most amount of people dancing.

Get ready for glitter, groove and good times at the 2026 Trundle ABBA Festival present­ed by Trundle & District Progress Associa­tion. The duo behind the Festival’s incep­tion, Gary Crowley and his wife will be back on deck coordinating the event this year, following their successful involvement dur­ing the first 10 years of the Festival.

Festival highlights will include Interna­tional ABBA tribute sensation ABBAS­BACK®, returning with a full orchestra and choir. There will be a world dancing record attempt to Dancing Queen and Waterloo – right here in Trundle, and an exclusive sneak peek of Parkes M&D’s new smash hit, Sister Act.

The I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do wedding vow renewals will be led by Parkes’ very own musical minister, Rev Craig Bland ac­comanied by a choir. Enter the singing com­petition, with the top three finalists perform­ing live on the main stage, or strut your stuff down Trundle’s main street in the Fashions of the Festival catwalk competition.

The festival features a stellar live music lineup, including the legendary Handpicked band featuring Orange’s most prominent rock musicians, plus local crowd-favourites and rising stars Easy Goin’ and Dirty Dark Horses – get down and giddy up!The 2026 ABBA Festival kicks off on 2 May at 11am and finishes up at 8pm. Festi­val goers are then encouraged to continue the festivities by enjoying entertainment provided by the Trundle Services Club who will have a cracking band and also the Trun­dle Hotel.
