Country towns don’t run on big budgets. They run on people who put their hands up. And in Caltowie, once a year, they show up in force.

South Australian fans get to see a huge lineup of acts when Gyroscope headline Caltowie Chilled Out ‘n’ Fired Up Festival alongside the likes of 19-Twenty, Dojo Rise, Funk Me, Loose Change and many more.

In the lead-up to Caltowie Chilled Out ‘n’ Fired Up Music Festival 2026, founder Ben Van Boekel talks to us about Caltowie’s origins, raising awareness of men’s mental health struggles and his enthusiasm for live music.

We’re absolutely stoked to share that Caltowie COFU has received funding through the Australian Government’s Revive Live program!
