Morgan Evans Breaks Gympie Music Muster Attendance Record

According to a social media post from Australian country music star Morgan Evans, the attendance record was broken at the 2023 Gympie Music Muster as thousands of punters poured in to see the All Right Here singer.

The impressive feat was achieved despite a huge act like Wolfmother abruptly cancelling their appearance on Saturday (26 August) - just one day before their headlining performance was due to take place. Gympie Music Muster organisers took a punt on up-and-comers Million Johnnys, who took over the Boss Hire Blues Bar at 8:15 pm on Sunday.

“Last night we broke the attendance record at one of Australia’s longest running Music Festivals and had the time of our lives doing it,” Evans wrote on Instagram yesterday (27 August). “The love you guys are showing us out here is overwhelming”.

“Cheers to Country Music, The Muster and everyone that came out this weekend. It’s good to be home”.

The new addition follows an already-announced whopping 13 shows in Australia and New Zealand, with special guest James Johnston joining him on all dates, excluding the Sydney Opera House.
