A new country music festival ridin’ into town

The inaugural Ridin’ Hearts Festival will mosey on into the Sydney Showground this November with a crackling line-up of hot US and Aussie country music stars. 

Presented by the team who puts on the popular CMC Rocks festival in Queensland, Ridin’ Hearts is a one-day taster that features big hitters and new comers and should appeal to hard-core fans and country-curious alike.  

“This festival is a first of its kind, a unique opportunity to witness the domination of country music in Australia. We’re thrilled to bring together a mix of established country artists and emerging talents, creating an unforgettable day of music, fun and authentic country experiences,” says Michael Chugg, Chugg Entertainment Chairman.

Country music has always had a presence in the Australian music scene, but it’s usually been in the margins of mainstream music. It is now starting to gain traction among a broader base, especially with the crossover from country to rock/pop that is typically seen in the US. 

“The popularity of country music is no longer a secret; the audience is growing and is more far-reaching than ever, so it’s time for something for the fans in the city, “ says Susan Heymann, Frontier Touring Chief Operating Officer.

US country sensation, Bailey Zimmerman will headline an incredible program of US and Australian acts including: Danielle Bradbery (USA), Sam Barber (USA), Matt Schuster (USA), Seaforth (AU), Alana Springsteen (USA), Sara Berki (AU), Zac & George (AU), VAVO (USA).

General admission tickets give you access to all the performers, Jolene’s Diamond Ticket gives you the five-star experience with lots of exclusive privileges.
