The wait is over: Groundwater Country Music Festival has just dropped its first artist announcement for its 2024 event, sharing the line-up (so far) on Facebook.
Kasey Chambers, Tim Hicks, Shannon Noll and Felicity Urquhart & Josh Cunningham lead the stellar line-up, with the festival also locking in Gord Bamford, Taylor Moss, Max Jackson, Christie Lamb, Josh Setterfield, Jayne Denham, Robbie Mortimer, this year’s Toyota Star Maker winner Wade Forster, and more. You can find the full artist announcement below.
Groundwater is a free, three-day country music festival situated in the coastal Gold Coast area of Broadbeach. This year’s festival takes place from 18-20 October. You can find more information about the festival on its website.
The 2024 event follows the 2023 edition of Groundwater Country Music Festival, which was headlined by Casey Barnes on the Friday and also starred Rhinestoned and US supergroup Asleep At The Wheel making their festival debuts, as well as Jackson Dean, Adam Harvey & Beccy Cole performed their popular Great Country Songbook show, the Australian King and Queen of country music, Lee Kernaghan and Amber Lawrence provided a wicked finale, and many more.
Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate said of last year’s event, “The Gold Coast has been a proud host of this award-winning country music festival for the past decade and every year, it delivers an exceptional line-up of talent and a unique experience.
“Make room for tens of thousands of country music fans dusting off their Akubras and hitting Broadbeach to dance the day – and nights – away. The best news is it’s free, so see you there as we come together to celebrate everything that’s great about the Goldie.”
