“Riverboats has been part of the Echuca-Moama community for over ten years now, and whilst we're sad to be leaving Aquatic Reserve next year, we can't wait to put on a spectacular show at Victoria Park in a few months' time.”

One of the biggest names on the bill, Peter Garrett, with his band The Alter Egos, shared the first taste of his new solo music on Friday (13 October), unveiling the single The True North, from the album of the same name arriving in March 2024.
