After bursting on to the global music scene in 2016, Amy Shark's 7x Platinum single 'Adore' put her on the map as one of Australia's most formidable songwriters. This was followed by APRA award winning (Song Of The Year) 7x Platinum and number one Australian airplay chart hit, 'I Said Hi' and the 2019 4x Platinum single 'Mess Her Up'. Shark's debut/breakthrough #1 ARIA album and Platinum-certified LOVE MONSTER was recognised in 2018 with four ARIA awards (Album of the Year, Best Female Artist, Best Pop Release, Best Producer [Dann Hume]) and went on to become the highest selling album by an Australian artist for 2018. Amy's latest album, Gold-certified CRY FOREVER was her second #1 ARIA debut. 2023 also saw Amy make her debut as a judge on Australia Idol, which she picked up her first Logie for in July of 2023 - winning the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent. Today, Amy has amassed close to 1 billion combined global streams.

US sensation, Tyler Hubbard, will close out the Muster's first evening.

Capping off the second of two enormous days in Deni is US megastar Kip Moore. The genre-blending songsmith with a warm, honey-infused growl has sold millions of records and garnered over 2.9 billion streams. Charismatic heartland rock and new-wave production collide with a comforting country sway on his latest hit album, Damn Love.

With a career spanning 54 incredible years, he's a member of the ARIA Hall of Fame, Australian Roll of Renown, and Order of Australia, has won 4 ARIAS, 28 Golden Guitar Awards and sold over a whopping 5 million albums. As Williamson slows down his touring regime in 2024, Deni Ute Muster is one of few places to see the legend live.

Australian singer-songwriter, Amber Lawrence is one of Australia's most celebrated and hardest working country artists. With 7 prolific studio albums and 3 children's albums the 2 x ARIA Nominee and 6 x CMAA Golden Guitar Award winner has enjoyed an illustrious 20+ year career.

With a string of chart-topping albums and hit singles, Brad Cox has taken Australian Country music by storm. From captivating audiences with his down-to-earth persona in sold-out theatres, to scoring the #1 spot on the ARIA Country Charts and taking home Golden Guitar awards for 'Top Selling Country Album of the Year' and 'Contemporary Country Album of the Year'.

Brooke McClymont & Adam Eckersley have swiftly emerged as crowd favourites in recent years. Their latest album, Up, Down & Sideways garnered 5 x Golden Guitar nominations at the 2024 Tamworth Country Music Festival and 2023 ARIA Best Country Album.

Hailing from Melbourne VIC, Darlinghurst will launch main stage festivities on Saturday 5^th October. The four piece turned duo (comprising original members, Cassie Leopold and Pagan Newman) topped the ARIA Australian Country Albums Chart in 2022 with their eponymously titled debut and secured the Golden Guitar Award for New Talent of the Year.

Kickstarting the party on Friday 4^th October is Elestial, winners of Play On The Plains Battle Of The Bands. Newcastle's sonic storytellers. With a blend of ethereal melodies and raw indie energy, Elestial paints emotive landscapes through their music. The band's introspective lyrics, woven into captivating arrangements, invite listeners to explore the depths of human experience.

Fronted by Elyssa's vocals, the band is comprised of Jye on bass, Rohan playing lead guitar and Toby on kit. From intimate venues to larger stages, their performances create an immersive journey, connecting hearts with each chord. Elestial's music resonates with those seeking both catharsis and connection, making them a distinctive and resonant presence in the indie music scene.

From country halls in Australia's far-flung reaches, to the revered Glastonbury Festival in the UK, Fanny Lumsden has won the hearts of audiences the world over. The 2 x ARIA and 8 x Golden Guitar winner redefines country music with her earnest and unique songbook.

Homegrown country duo Sunny Cowgirls are no strangers to Deni Ute Muster. Boasting eight acclaimed albums, the beloved sisters and now mothers, Soph and Less Clabburn have been delighting Australian audiences ever since their tearaway debut album Little Bit Rusty landed in 2005.

Deniliquin was a vibrant town on the edge of the outback, struggling with a crippling drought, when a group of community minded locals devised a plan to attract much needed visitors. 

The first, Deni Play on the Plains Festival, as it was known at the time, took place in October 1999, on the flattest, natural, open plains on earth, and with "ute culture" being an intrinsic part of Deniliquin, it was unanimous that it would play a major part of the festival and hence the Deni Ute Muster burst into the national psyche.

In its first year, the Deni Ute Muster had approximately 5,000 patrons and set a new Guinness World Record for the most number of legally paraded utes at 2,839 – a record which still stands today. Since 1999, the Deni Ute Muster has become the region's biggest tourist drawcard and a celebration of all things Australian.

Grab your mates and shine up the ute, because you don't want to miss the next in a lineage of exceptional entertainment, on Friday 4^th and Saturday 5^th October 2024. Deni Ute Muster Tickets on sale now and available at deniutemusic.com.au.
