Route 33 has been turning heads across Australia with their unique sound blending traditional country with a modern influence. Their high-energy performances and multiple chart-topping tracks have seen them grow a loyal fanbase in the country music scene here in Australia. Now, they’re ready to take the next big step performing on an international stage that draws in millions of fans from around the globe.

"We are incredibly excited and honoured to be performing at the Calgary Stampede," said Jock Barnes, lead singer of Route 33. "It's a dream come true for us to be part of such a legendary event. We can't wait to share our music with the amazing crowd and experience the incredible atmosphere of the Stampede."

They’ll be flying the flag as the only Aussie country act on the 2025 lineup, standing proudly alongside non-country fellow Aussies The Cat Empire and The Paper Kites. Route 33 is in seriously good company sharing the stage with a star-studded roster of international talent like Shania Twain, Jason Isbell, Midland, Chase Rice, Diplo, Simple Plan, and Natasha Bedingfield.

The Calgary Stampede, often referred to as  “The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth” is a 10-day explosion of rodeos, live music and culture that attracts millions of visitors from around the globe. With their signature storytelling and down-to-earth charm, Route 33 is set to be a standout moment in the festival’s massive 2025 lineup.
