We don’t have a Longneck Way To Go until the Gympie Music Muster in August, but it’ll be Greetings From… Amamoor Creek State Forest, as we welcome Texan music superstars, Midland to the 2023 festival.
The much-anticipated second artist release for the 2023 Gympie Music Muster – August 24-27 – features the eagerly-awaited return of Midland to Australia, among a mix of rising and established homegrown favourites Hoodoo Gurus, Sara Storer, Ashleigh Dallas, Viper Creek Band, Chad Morgan, Emily Wurramara, Zac & George, Melody Moko, Caitlyn Shadbolt, and Ella and Sienna.
The international flavour of Midland is in addition to Canadian favourites Dan Davidson and Gord Bamford announced in our first artist line-up.
“We are so excited to finally be bringing our Last Resort: Greetings From Tour to Australia, which includes a stop at the Gympie Music Muster,” the band said.
“We have heard a lot about the Muster crowd and cannot wait to party with y’all in the middle of a forest – we will see you soon!”
They join headliners Adam Brand, Brooke McClymont and Adam Eckersley, Busby Marou, Casey Barnes, Kasey Chambers, Troy Cassar-Daley and Melinda Schneider.
Program director Oz Bayldon said the focus was mixing established and emerging artists to entertain all festival patrons.
“We have worked very hard this year to have emerging artists to play alongside the country’s elite performers to deliver a program that will entertain all the festival goers in the most unique festival setting in Australia,” he said.
“We’re very proud to be delivering our roots with a lot of local performers also on the bill. We have tried to mix it up a little from previous years but keep the essence of what the Muster is about.”
The Muster is not solely about country music, with Aussie rock legends and ARIA Hall of Famers Hoodoo Gurus looking forward to bring their A-game to the forest festival.
“We’re really looking forward to playing at the legendary Gympie Muster,” Hoodoo Gurus mainstay Dave Faulkner said.
“You can always count on the Hoodoo Gurus to bring the rock ‘n’ roll good times, so we reckon we can safely say that this year’s Muster is gonna be iconic.”
Tickets are selling fast and payment plans are available to pay tickets off on a weekly basis until the end of June 2023.
The Gympie Muster is a cashless event and wristband credits are also now available to purchase via the ticket portal, this gives our patrons the chance to pre-pay their spending money prior to the event which was very popular for the ’22 festival.
