The annual eisteddfod will run for two weeks instead of the usual three weeks because of concurrent performances on different stages.
The eisteddfod will be held at Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre (DRTCC), Macquarie Conservatorium of Music and the Dubbo RSL Memorial Club's theatrette.
Dance groups will kick off the eisteddfod on Saturday morning at the DRTCC with woodwind and brass sections beginning at the conservatorium in the evening.

City of Dubbo Eisteddfod Society president Barbara Redgrave said it was "utilising space suitable for each particular event".
She confirmed that the post-eisteddfod grand concert was attracting smaller audiences and would not be held in 2019.
"It is our 50th eisteddfod next year and we thought we would do something special then," she said.
The dance, instrumental, speech and drama, and vocal and choral programs are at www.dubboeisteddfod.org.au.
Tickets for the dance groups weekend are being sold at www.123tix.com.au.
