Karijini Experience Returns

Karijini Experience Cancellation

Karijini Experience Cancellation

Important Update: Karijini Experience Cancelled

BNTAC has made the difficult decision to cancel the Karijini Experience 2026 as a result of the ongoing uncertainty and risk of insufficient fuel supply across regional Western Australia.

The increasing pressure on supply and transport networks has created significant logistical and operational risks for an event of this scale in a remote location.

We acknowledge this decision is disappointing and it was not made lightly. The safety of the Banjima and broader community, partners and visitors, along with the ability to deliver a high-quality event on country, have been central to this decision.

Rest assured that all ticket holders will receive a full refund via Humanitix. Refunds will be processed automatically to the original payment method, and confirmation will be sent directly from Humanitix. Please allow a few business days for funds to be returned to your account.

We sincerely thank our sponsors, partners, artists, suppliers and the broader community for their support, commitment and understanding. The effort, time and passion that so many have contributed to bringing this event to life is greatly acknowledged and deeply appreciated. We look forward to bringing this exceptional event to Karijini next year.
