Announced nationally today, the line-up also includes Canadian Ethan Miller, and an array of other pop, rock and country stars who will take to both the main stage and day stage over two huge days on October 2 and 3.
Deni Ute Muster general manager Vicky Lowry said following a record-breaking 2025 sold-out year, the Muster team was keen to deliver another diverse schedule of entertainment and music to appeal to everyone.
And she believes they have delivered, with a mix of Muster first-timers and returning crowd favourites.
Joining Tones And I, Lee Kernaghan, Tyler Braden and Ethan Miller on the main stage will be Sheppard, Ian Moss & Troy Cassar Daley, Furnace & The Fundamentals, Casey Barnes, Amber Lawrence, Zac & George, Taylor Moss, Bella Mackenzie, Tori Darke and Austin Mackay.
“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,” Mrs Lowry said.
“Each year, we work hard to curate a line-up 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.”
Adding to the musical experiences this year will be an equally diverse SunRice day stage schedule.
Open from dusk to dawn both days of the Muster, it will feature Dingo, Pete Denahy, 2026 Toyota Star Maker Jarrad Wrigley, 2026 Gympie Music Muster Talent winner, Liam Maihi, Laura Frank, Taylor Sheridan, Sandee Facy, Kaitlyn Thomas, Billie-Jo Porter, Ethan Calway, Zak Armstrong, Ellis Undercover and Red Williams.
Deniliquin’s own The Groovy Dudes, The Gents and Deniliquin Bush Poets will round out the performers.

The appetite for Tones And I to perform in Deniliquin was demonstrated earlier this year, when a community appeal to get her here for a free concert garnered huge support.
As an inimitable vocalist, clever lyricist, deft producer, and inventive creator, Tones And I stretches the scope of pop music with unpredictable and undeniable anthems of her own design.
Since exploding onto the global scene in 2019 as a busker from the Mornington Peninsula, she has smashed records, garnered multiple awards, sold out tours, surpassed 12 billion streams and reached multi-platinum heights around the world.
Her international appeal has led to multiple TV appearances, and last year she joined forces with David Guetta and Teddy Swims for the hit single ‘Gone Gone Gone’.
It landed at number one on the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart and Top 10 at US Pop Radio.
The single is a soaring soul-pop tribute to the powerful pull of toxic love, driven by undeniable dance floor rhythms and clap-along gospel energy.
Tyler Braden is a platinum-certified, Alabama-born and Nashville-based singer, songwriter, and guitarist.
He’s described as a classic country troubadour, whose storytelling “strikes an intimate chord”.
At the same time, he’s an energetic showman who can rile up a crowd with a blast of electric guitar and a stadium-size singalong.
Arriving on the music scene earlier this decade, he’s gone on to share the stage with big hitters like Luke Bryan, Brooks & Dunn, Dierks Bentley, Warren Zeiders, and Darius Rucker.
The Deni Ute Muster is consistently one of the top ‘bucket list’ events in Australia and annually attracts close to 20,000 people of all ages to celebrate all things Australian and, of course, the iconic ‘ute’.
The Deni Ute Muster has amazing community support with more than 1,000 volunteers mobilising each year to help put on the event which donates close to $100,000 back to community groups.
Early bird tickets are already sold out, and general admission tickets are available now at deniutemuster.com.au.
