First teased earlier in the month, the Strummingbird Festival will debut in Australia from late October to early November, with three exciting performances scheduled across the beautiful locations of Sunshine Coast, Newcastle, and Perth. This festival aims to bring an unforgettable musical experience to fans, combining local and international talents that will leave attendees craving for more.
Announcing its impressive lineup on Thursday, July 31 (Australia time), the festival is headlined by the remarkable duo of Jelly Roll and Shaboozey—both artists are making their much-anticipated Australian debuts as part of this exciting festival. Their unique sounds and captivating performances are expected to draw large crowds and create an unforgettable atmosphere filled with energy and excitement.
Both Jelly Roll and Shaboozey have gained significant fame in Australia recently. Notably, Shaboozey’s chart-topping single “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” dominated the Australian ARIA Singles Charts last year, while Jelly Roll made waves by debuting at No. 19 on the Albums Charts in 2024 with his latest release, Beautifully Broken. Their rise in popularity showcases their growing influence in the Australian music scene.
The inclusion of both acts is particularly exciting, especially after the release of their collaborative single “Amen,” though there is no confirmation yet on whether they will perform this hit track together during their time in Australia. As of now, no additional Australian tour dates have been announced for either artist, making this festival a must-see for fans eager to experience their performances live.
The festival’s lineup features a diverse array of largely American and Australian artists. Among the notable names are Texas’ Treaty Oak Revival, Illinois’ Drew Baldridge, Tennessee’s Julia Cole, and the Virginian quartet The Jack Wharff Band, all of whom will be crossing the ocean to perform at this exciting event.
Local representation will be strong, featuring talented artists such as James Johnston, Wade Forster, Kaylee Bell, Matt Hansen, The Dreggs, and many more. This blend of local and international talent promises to create an enriching experience for festival-goers and highlight the vibrant Australian music scene.
A slight vibe shift is anticipated during the festival thanks to perennial favorite Hot Dub Time Machine, who is known for adding a unique “country and rock-and-roll twist” to his DJ sets. Additionally, Y.O.G.A., the solo project of Reuben Styles from the ARIA Award-winning duo Peking Duk, will also contribute to the eclectic mix of sounds.
Presented by Kicks Entertainment and Live Nation, Strummingbird Festival is organized by the same team that brings you the Spilt Milk festival, which is set to tour the country in December featuring major names like Kendrick Lamar, Doechii, and many more. This ensures that festival-goers can expect a high-quality experience filled with exceptional music and entertainment.
