Urban Country Music Festival line-up revealed

The organisers of Urban Country Music Festival have announced the line-up ahead of the event at Caboolture later this year.

The event will be hosted by 121 Networks Ltd, a not for profit company raising funds to support initiatives for those at risk of homelessness, on October 4 at Caboolture Showgrounds.

The line-up features Travis Collins, Beccy Cole, and Brooke McClymont and Adam Eckersley, and introduces emerging artists Vixens of Fall, Chloe Marks & the Mayhem, and The 78 Sound. DJ Richter will entertain those looking to keep the party going.

Travis Collins is considered one of Australia’s finest country music artists. Travis has a unique gift of piloting both heartfelt ballads and supercharged country-rock fuelled bangers. His newest single is Good Thing Comin’, released just last week.

Beccy Cole has been delighting Australian music fans with her unique brand of true entertainment for more than 30 years. The South Australian star’s glowing warmth, bawdy sense of humour and hundred-watt smile have helped make her one of the nation’s best-loved and most celebrated artists.

Brooke McClymont and Adam Eckersley continue to wow audiences with their live shows and cement their music’s popularity with a string of awards and nominations.

The night before the festival will offer a unique experience for music lovers during the Under the Neon Stars event. This long table dining experience will showcase First Nations artists Loren Ryan, Edgar Conlon and Soul Good Band.

The festival, which has had a nine-year hiatus, is not only being revived to bring more live music to Caboolture’s door, it will also raise money to support people at risk of homelessness in the region.

All proceeds will go directly to 121 Networks Ltd and Angelus Community which provide safe and sustainable housing solutions for those in need in the City of Moreton Bay.

“This event will be so much fun for the community and raise much needed funds to help initiatives to support those at risk of homelessness,” says 121 Networks Ltd Director Beryl Schneider.

Festival organiser Eric Whitehouse says the original festival was a big hit with country music fans and this year’s event is one not to miss.

“With so many festivals being cancelled or paused, this one is coming back! This line-up is full of hard-working Australian artists and will be a hit for young and old,” Eric says.

“Whether you're a die-hard country music fan, a foodie, an adventurer, or simply looking for a great time with family and friends, our festival promises to deliver an experience you won't soon forget.”
