Ute Muster general manager Vicky Lowry said the main stage line up to support Tim McGraw includes many artists who have returned to help celebrate the event’s 21st anniversary.
‘‘Patrons will not be disappointed in the amazing program that has been put together for our 21st year,’’ she said.

Attendees are urged to be quick to ensure they don’t miss out on reserving their team’s base.
The Ute Muster is one of the top ‘bucket list’ events in Australia and annually attracts close to 20,000 people of all ages to celebrate all things Australian and, of course, the iconic ‘ute’.
It has amazing community support with more than 1000 volunteers mobilising each year to help put on the event which donates close to $100,000 back to community groups.
Back in 1999, a group of community minded locals came together with the aim to start a rural themed festival to bring visitors to Deniliquin.
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 about 5000 patrons and set a new Guinness World Record for the most number of legally paraded utes at 2839 – 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.
The 2019 Deni Ute Muster line-up includes some new artists and many all-time favourites.
Topping the list to support McGraw will be Lee Kernaghan, who performed at the first Muster and has returned numerous times since.
Kernaghan reinvigorated Australian country music in the 1990s, synthesising traditional country themes with his own brand of rural rock and images of an evolving regional culture. Songs like The Outback Club, Boys from The Bush, Hat Town, She’s My Ute and Australian Boy are now modern day anthems for a generation of Australians living and working on the land. His popular following will ensure a big crowd attends the 2019 Muster.
