Apply to be a part of Antipodes 2026!

Antipodes returns to Lonsdale Street on 28 Feb + 1 March 2026, and we’d love you to be a part of it.

Applications are now open for Performers, Stall Holders, Zorba ‘Til You Drop, Volunteers, Crew, MCs and Cooking Demonstrations.

Performers

We're looking for a vibrant mix of performers for Antipodes 2026. Musicians, dancers, cultural groups and creative acts are all welcome to apply and entertain the crowds across the weekend.

Stall Holders

With 90+ stalls across food, retail, arts and community categories, the festival offers a prime opportunity to showcase your products or services to thousands of visitors.

Zorba 'Til You Drop

Join one of Antipodes’ longest-running traditions: Zorba ’Til You Drop, running for over 25 years. Dance until you’re the final Zorba left on stage, and you’ll win return flights to Greece.

Volunteers

Volunteers help create the warm, welcoming atmosphere that Antipodes is known for. If you’re enthusiastic, community-minded and keen to be part of the weekend, this is a great way to get involved and gain experience.

Crew

Crew members play an essential role in making sure everything at Antipodes flows. From stage support to general site help, it’s a valuable way to build experience and be part of the festival action.

Cooking Demos

Bring your favourite Greek dishes to life in front of a festival audience. From classic recipes to modern interpretations, we welcome cooks who want to share flavour, technique and tradition.

MC Callout

Interested in being part of the on-stage action? Our MCs help introduce acts, make announcements and keep things running smoothly while engaging with festival-goers.
