Australian country artist Wade Forster has officially announced his highly anticipated second album, Gooseneck Party, set to drop Thursday 24 October 2025. Alongside the announcement comes the release of the title track, an ode to late nights, long roads, and the kind of stories only a true cowboy could tell.
Gooseneck Party follows Wade’s breakout 2022 debut The Beginning, which quietly launched him into international streaming territory, clocking over 50 million streams and earning him a die-hard fanbase on both sides of the equator.
The new record expands his sound and soul. Across a whopping 22 tracks, Forster channels the heart of the rodeo, the ache of lost love, and the resilience that comes with chasing a dream far from the city lights.
“Gooseneck Party is a collection of stories I’ve lived through, or ones my mates have.” Forster shares. “It’s about the road - the long miles, the sleepless nights of being a rodeo cowboy. Most of these stories have been told around the back of a Gooseneck, with a drink in hand and plenty of laughs. I’ve been sitting on these songs for a while, and I’m glad they will finally be out soon for the world to hear.”
The release will coincide with Forster’s Dying Breed Tour, which includes a run of sold out US headline shows, as well as major festival appearances at Strummingbird Festival alongside Jelly Roll and Shaboozey. He’ll also support red-hot Texas act Treaty Oak Revival in Sydney and Melbourne.
From humble beginnings in outback Queensland to the global stage, Wade’s rise has been nothing short of wild. Since winning the 2024 Toyota Star Maker award, he’s shared stages with Cody Johnson and Luke Combs, proving he’s not just riding the wave but he’s rewriting the rulebook.
