Dashville Skyline has revealed its star-studded first artist announcement for its 2025 festival, and it’s a big one.
Returning to the Hunter Valley, NSW, over the October long weekend – Friday, 3 October to Sunday, 5 October – the festival celebrates its 11th birthday with headliners The Cruel Sea. The country rockers will join an incredible number of local and international acts for the upcoming “Cosmic Country Weekender.”
International artists on this year’s line-up include Nikki Lane, Cordovas, Vincent Neil Emerson, Laidback Country Picker, and Swimming Bell. Locals heading to the Hunter Valley are Fanny Lumsden, Mama Kin Spender, Charlie Collins, Melody Pool, Lost Ragas, Minor Gold, Emily Lubitz, William Alexander, and more. Check out the full first artist announcement below.
The eclectic country-rock festival is family-friendly, with camping available for those who like to fall asleep staring at the stars while enjoying some laid-back tunes. More acts are set to be announced soon, in addition to the playing times and other festival activities.
Over 40 performances will be hosted across three stages, where fans can also enjoy American-inspired food and beverages, shop at boutique market stalls, visit the music history exhibit, visit the petting zoo, and check out the guitar and car show.
Punters can now purchase single-day or full-event three-day passes via the Dashville Store.
