Put on your dancing shoes and join The Smashing Bumpkins as they bring their high-energy bush dance party to Eudlo! From classic Australian bush dances to crowd-favorite grooves, this isn’t just a dance - it’s a floor-stomping, boot-scootin’ celebration!

You don’t need to know the moves, you just need to be ready to groove. The Smashing Bumpkins will guide you through circle, line, and partner routines with easy-to-follow steps.

Leading the charge is multi-instrumentalist and chief bush dance caller Ben King, whose infectious energy gets everyone on their feet. On bass, John Gynther - a Queensland Conservatorium graduate - delivers the irresistible rhythms, while seasoned musician David Klokman keeps the vibe alive with his stellar drumming. Rounding out the lineup is the extraordinary violinist Liz Young, whose electrifying performance adds that special spark to every dance tune. Together, they’ll turn any room into a buzzing dance floor.

From the Gympie Music Muster to the Birdsville Races, The Smashing Bumpkins have wowed audiences across Australia and New Zealand. They’ve even smashed a Guinness World Record for the largest bush dance! Now it’s your turn to join the fun.
