David Bowie diehards are descending on Carinda as the town prepares for their annual tribute festival to the legendary singer this weekend.

"The air, the vibe. It's electric with Bowie," Let's Dance Carinda secretary Joy Dare said.

Hundreds of fans make the trip from across the country to strut the iconic ginger hair and lightning-bolt.

Four music acts will take the stage on Saturday 4 October, headlined by Melbourne tribute artist Starman.

At around midday on Sunday, festival-goers will pack the Carinda Hotel to reenact 1983 music video 'Let's Dance,' which Bowie partially filmed at the venue.

Organisers hope to welcome around 300 people through the gates.

"They come right from up the coast. We've had people from Adelaide, Wollongong, Victoria, Queensland," Joy said.

Bowie devotees can buy tickets at the gate, with camping space at the sportsground where the festival takes place.

Those looking to indulge their artsy side with have a tent to paint shoes red - a reference to a line in Let's Dance - which will hang on display at the grounds.

The music is live and the atmosphere is chill, but it's not all Starman.

The crowd will also groove to Narrabri's Leon Cunningham, Brewarrina's The Bre Band and The Golden Years of Bowie.

Bowie died in January 2016, the same year locals launched the festival.

The 2025 event comes after a storm in November last year smashed the town, severely damaging homes and businesses. 

It may have dented the town, but Joy said that didn't stop the committee from pushing ahead.

"Everyone's keen to keep it going," Joy said.

"It'll be 10 years next year, and it's going to be bigger and better than ever."
