24.01.2022 Dashville TV ep1 is live right now over on the Dashville page. Tune in for the good stuff!

18.01.2022 Go Anywhere is an epic ethereal tune by Dashville locals Magpie Diaries The song is a sojourn, a moment of reflection, an escape into a vast world of beauty and longing. Where the overwhelming desire to relax and live the moment, feels perpetually impossible. The feeling that time powers us through the wasteland of emotions, where we never have enough of a chance to really feel that moment, to connect with it, to respond, to embrace.... This song wants to remind you to be real, right here, right now.

17.01.2022 Thanks to all ticket holders who have supported last weeks announcement regarding Dashville festivals in 2020. We just want to reiterate that whilst Dashville is eager to bring the party back, we're also aware that restrictions on large public gatherings could still go either way. So we've re-designed the remainder of Dashville's calendar for 2020. We're working on some smaller events and we've redesigned the Sky Ball event. ... The Sky Ball is essentially now smaller and more flexible, which will hopefully allow us to work within whatever the frame work will be come October. It's uncharted territory and Dashville will be taking small careful steps as we inch closer, navigating both the government and event/music/tourism industry advice as it evolves. Just in case some missed it, this was the final paragraph as part of the governments latest announcement regarding public gatherings and COVID-19: 'Music festivals and nightclubs will continue to remain closed in July as the Health advice remains that these venues and activities pose a high risk of the virus spreading. It is anticipated that restrictions will be eased further in August if community transmission of the virus remains low.' For the latest information please go to nsw.gov.au/covid-19
