COUNTRY

Strummingbird is back on the road, bringing a modern country party to Sunshine Coast, Newcastle and Ballarat. Saddle up for a travelling festival that tips its hat to country’s roots while dialling things up with a fresh, contemporary edge.

Built for die-hard country fans and the country-curious alike, Strummingbird is all about big singalongs, boot-stomping energy and feel-good moments from start to finish. Expect a soundtrack that blends classic influences with the new wave of the genre - the kind that sticks with you long after the final set.

Off stage, the good times don’t stop. Expect a full-throttle festival atmosphere that brings country culture to life, all wrapped up in that unmistakable Strummingbird spirit.
