Brad Cox ProfileVictoria is home to Australia’s newest country music festival, Barunah Country.
Taking over the picturesque Barunah Plains on the 2027 Easter Weekend – Friday, 26 to Sunday, 28 March – the inaugural festival is headlined by some of Australia’s most loved country artists: Brad Cox, Tyla Rodrigues, and The Wolfe Brothers.
Other acts appearing across the three-day festival are Lane Pittman, Max Jackson, Zac & George, Bill & Tyler Chambers, William Alexander, Davidson Brothers, William Crighton, Tori Darke, Sara Berki and more.
The event will also feature a tribute to Dolly Parton, the Linda Ronstadt Show with Ella Hooper, and Ben Mastwyk & The Honky Tonk Hounds. It’s packed with fun, from beginning to end.
Check out the day-by-day line-up below.
The three-day festival will welcome fans of all ages. Along with live music, it features a Speed Shearing Competition, Farm Utility Dog Trials, Campdraft Demonstrations and a Woodchop Competition. Meanwhile, country DJ Willie Pake will keep the energy going into the night.
Punters will have the option to attend for just one day or camp for the entire three-day event. On-site camping will be available, allowing attendees to enjoy the event to the fullest.
Early bird camping tickets will be available from Thursday, 12 November, at 10 am AEDT until Monday, 30 November, at 11:59 pm AEDT. General release pricing begins on Tuesday, 1 December.
Tickets, including three-day passes and one-day passes for Saturday and Sunday only, will be available from Thursday, 12 November, at 10 am AEDT. Tickets and camping passes will be available via Moshtix. Register your interest in tickets here.
“We wanted to create something that goes beyond a traditional music festival,” said Barunah Plains owners Damian Canny and Sara Langford. They continued, “Barunah Plains has such an incredible history, and the Barunah Country Festival is about bringing that history to life through music, camping, country traditions and a genuine sense of community.
“We live and breathe the history of the property every day, and want people to come for the music, stay for the experience and leave with memories that bring them back year after year.”
Ben Mastwyk added, “I’m thrilled to be part of this truly unique country music and heritage event. The team invited me to program the more alt-country and honky tonk acts. Curating these artists against some of Australia’s largest country icons has led to a more diverse line-up that will be full of surprising new favourites for the audience.
“I’ll also be delivering MC duties across the event as well as sneaking in a rollicking little country set of bangers with my Honky Tonk Hounds. The historical homestead and heritage experiences on offer really do set this apart as something quite unlike other country music festivals, and I’m truly looking forward to what will be a wild long weekend.”
