Riverboats Music Festival is celebrating its 15th anniversary in 2027 with a stellar line-up of Australian and New Zealand artists set to soundtrack another riverside weekend in Echuca-Moama.
Returning to the banks of the Murray River on Yorta Yorta country, the multi-award-winning festival will run across three days with one stage, no timetable clashes and plenty of live music beneath the river red gums.
Opening night on Friday will feature Naarm-based rockers Floodlights and ethereal singer Milly Strange before Australian rock legends Spiderbait close out the evening.
Saturday brings country star Fanny Lumsden, Kaitlin Keegan, Melbourne soul favourite Ella Thompson, Mulga Bore Hard Rock and Henry Wagons, building towards a headline performance from The Cat Empire. The festival favourites will return to Riverboats for the first time since 2014.
Sunday will feature New Zealand-born, Manchester-based folk artist Nadia Reid, Claire Anne Taylor and Frankston rockers The Gnomes, followed by country great Troy Cassar-Daley. Folk trio The Waifs will then close the 15th anniversary celebrations.
Rockwiz host Brian Nankervis will return as MC across all three days.
Beyond the main stage, Riverboats Yoga will make its debut with morning sessions at the Port of Echuca, while the much-loved paddlesteamer sideshows return aboard the 110-year-old PS Pevensey. Performers include The Herd, Felix Riebl and Pierce Brothers.
The festival remains proudly independent and regional, with three-day adult tickets priced at $260. Single-day and kids tickets will also be available.
Tickets go on sale Thursday 8 October at 9am, with the festival promising three days of music, riverside relaxation and a country escape. Head to Riverboats Music Festival to grab tickets and find out more.
