The inaugural 2026 Nannup Unplugged, treated festival patrons to an “Unplugged” venue for intimate performances in an atmospheric environment, inside the St Thomas More Catholic Church. Performances were lined up from local (Nannup, Balingup, and Bridgetown) singing groups, local and regional musicians and buskers, and a ‘blackboard’ session was available for those brave enough to have a go. The highlight was “unplugged” evening performances from seasoned artists drawn from the main Festival program.
So, if you want to soothe your ears and feast your minds on some authentic, from the heart, personal, and unique musical performances, switch on to “Nannup Unplugged!” Please check back for more information on 2027.
