Thousands of visitors are expected to descend on Deniliquin this October for the 2026 Deni Ute Muster, following a record-breaking, sold-out event in 2025.
The festival will be held on Friday, October 2, and Saturday, October 3, with camping opening from Thursday, October 1.
What started in 1999 as a grassroots community initiative to attract visitors during a quiet long weekend has grown into one of Australia's most iconic regional events.
The Muster draws visitors from across the country and remains deeply connected to its rural roots while continuing to evolve for new generations of festival-goers.
This year's entertainment lineup includes Tones And I, Lee Kernaghan and American artist Tyler Braden, alongside established favourites and emerging acts.
The two-day program also features ute competitions, around-the-ground activations, camping and family-friendly experiences.
A major addition to the 2026 event is a ticketed Thursday night concert inside the new seated venue, The Grand Pavilion.
The Ultimate Superstars of Country tribute show will celebrate the music of Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen, with gates opening at 7pm and the full production show beginning at 8pm.
The Thursday concert will also support the Deniliquin High School P&C, one of the Muster's official 2026 charities, following a devastating school fire in November 2024.
A portion of every ticket sold will be donated directly to the P&C, and complimentary bus transport from town will be provided for non-camping patrons.
The event continues to deliver significant economic benefits to the Deniliquin region and the wider Riverina economy.
Organisers are encouraging patrons to plan early, with tickets on sale now at deniutemuster.com.au
