Homebake is an annual rock festival. The festival first began in 1996 at Belongil Fields in Byron Bay, on the far north coast of New South Wales. The same year saw a second event held at the grounds of the University of Sydney.

The festival returned in January 1998 as an East Coast event happening in Melbourne, the Gold Coast and Sydney. In December of the same year, it was held again in Sydney this time at the Domain. In late 1999 the event went on the road again, but this time to only the Gold Coast and Sydney.

In 2000 the festival reverted back to just Sydney, and since then has been held at the Domain every December. The festival has always featured an all Australian line up, hence the title - though it occasionally features New Zealand artists on the bill.
