The "Warbirds Over the Murray" air show will take place on Saturday, September 18, and Sunday, September 19, 2027, at the historic Tocumwal Airfield in New South Wales, Australia. Presented by Paul Bennet Airshows in partnership with the Tocumwal Aviation Museum, this two-day event marks the grand return of historic aircraft, aerobatics, and formation flights to this iconic airfield for the very first time. Driven by a desire to carry on the tradition of major warbird gatherings in Australia, the airshow promises an exceptional lineup at a major military and historic site, which served as the largest airbase in the Southern Hemisphere during World War II.
The event features a packed program of non-stop entertainment and aerial displays throughout the day, including warbird demonstrations, aerobatics, and formation flights, all accompanied by live commentary. Spectators can also enjoy numerous ground displays featuring military vehicles, classic cars, and aircraft on static display, as well as food stands, a licensed bar, and markets. For families, a dedicated children’s area offers activities, rides, and entertainment, while access to various viewing areas allows visitors to settle in comfortably with their own camping chairs or picnic blankets.
Located about three hours north of Melbourne, the Tocumwal airfield offers an ideal setting along the river and near eucalyptus forests, allowing visitors to combine their passion for aviation with a relaxing getaway. Various ticket options are available to visitors, ranging from general admission to premium passes offering exclusive benefits such as reserved seating in the center of the show, shaded areas, express entry, and official souvenir packs.
