After almost a week of speculation since announcing his Australian tour, country music icon Kip Moore has been announced as a major act.
Fellow American-based country music fan favourite Tyler Hubbard has also been named on the bill.
And prepared for ‘take two’ of a Deniliquin Festival Site main stage appearance will be Aussie chart topper Amy Shark.
Shark was expected to perform in Deniliquin at the 2023 Play on the Plains Festival - also coordinated by the team behind the Deni Ute Muster.
That event was unfortunately cancelled.
Rounding out the main stage artists this October 4 and 5 will be a stellar list of Australian performers led by Muster favourite John Williamson.
Others are Brad Cox, Fanny Lumsden, Brooke McClymont & Adam Eckersley, Amber Lawrence, Sunny Cowgirls, Darlinghurst and 2024 Play On The Plains Battle Of The Bands winners Elestial.
Hubbard, who is best known as one half of Florida Georgia Line, will close out the Friday night concert.
With 21 number one singles on country radio, countless awards, and sold-out tours, the remarkable songwriter is bringing his extraordinary solo show to Australia.
His performance is expected to include his number one songs 5 Foot 9 and Dancin’ In The Country, as well as Back Then Right Now, Wish You Would and many more.
Described as a megastar, Moore is known as a genre-blending songsmith with a warm, honey-infused growl who 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.
He will close out the Saturday concert.
As one of Australia’s pop success stories, Shark also has a global appeal which has seen her amass close to one billion combined global streams.
She burst on to the music scene in 2016 with her single Adore, and has since released a string of hits which have seen her win with eight ARIA awards to date.
Shark’s latest album, Gold-certified Cry Forever was her second number one ARIA debut.
And after making her debut as an Australian Idol judge last year, she picked up her first Logie in the same year, winning the Graham Kennedy Award for Most Popular New Talent.
The artist announcement coincides with the release of 2024 Deni Ute Muster tickets, which went on sale yesterday.
Deni Ute Muster general manager Vicky Lowry said this year’s event is shaping up to be one of the biggest years yet.
“We have an awesome line-up, a mix of International and Australian artists to entertain our crowd of all ages,” she said.
“Still to come in a future announcement will be day stage line-up and the schedule for the around the ground entertainment, with some new activations never before seen at the Muster and all the popular ones returning.
“We look forward to welcoming you through the famous Deni Ute Muster gates to celebrate two days of great music, entertainment, ute events, family fun, camping and friendships.
“There’s just over six months until the 2024 Deni Ute Muster, and the gates will open one day earlier - at 8am on Thursday, October 3 - to allow early camp access to all ticket holders.”
The first Deni Ute Muster was held in 1999, as a way of bringing vibrancy back to the district which had been crippled by drought.
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.
The Muster also holds Guinness World Records for its famed Blue Singlet Count - with patrons setting a new record of 4,367 in 2023 - and the Ute Count which stands at 9,736.
