Since its inception in October 1999, then known as the Deni Play on the Plains Festival, the Deni Ute Muster has helped turn Deniliquin into a thriving town on the edge of the outback.
Embracing country life, “ute culture” and live music, the festival has become the region’s biggest tourist drawcard, with the community first event proudly supported by the NSW Government’s tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW.
Deni Ute Muster General Manager, Vicky Lowry, said, “We’re incredibly excited to present our artist announcement for the 2026 Deni Ute Muster, especially following what was a record-breaking, sold-out event in 2025. Each year, we work hard to curate a lineup that reflects the spirit of the Muster, bringing together iconic artists, emerging talent, and unforgettable live experiences for our community and visitors.
“The Deni Ute Muster has always been about more than just music. It’s about celebrating Australian culture, connecting people from all walks of life, and creating something truly unique in regional Australia. This artist announcement is just the beginning, and we can’t wait to reveal what else we have in store.
“With strong early ticket demand already, we’re encouraging patrons to get in early and be part of what’s shaping up to be another incredible year in the Ute Capital of the World.”
