Deni Ute Muster announces 2015 dates, first tickets and first artists!

2015 Deni Ute Muster First Announcement!

Tuesday, 9 December 2014: It is with great pleasure that the organisers behind the increasingly popular Deni Ute Muster reveal the very first details of the 2015 event.

Celebrating its 16th birthday this year, the 2014 edition will no doubt be remembered for many years to come for the 18,000 patrons who graced the plains over the course of the October long weekend.

Not wanting to rest on their laurels, team “Muster” are working tirelessly to create an even bigger and better event for next year so we suggest you take your calendars, smart phones, tablets and PC’s without delay and block out Friday 2nd and Saturday 3rd October 2015. And while you’re at it, submit your leave request form and set your out of office, because this will be one unmissable event!

With discounted Loyalty/Member tickets now on sale we thought we would take this opportunity to give our devoted patrons a little sneak peak at some of the artists who will be mustering up a storm on stage come October …

BIRDS OF TOKYO is a band who needs no introduction, their insistent, bittersweet, rock sounds have resonated deeply with Australian critics and fans. Following two acclaimed albums, the indie band’s self-titled third studio release spent over eight months in the Australian Top 20 and was certified double platinum. It also picked up an ARIA Award for Best Rock Album in 2010. Early in 2011, the band’s anthemic breakthrough hit Plans ranked #4 in Triple J’s Hottest 100 while the follow up single, Wild at Heart reached #1 on the country’s National Airplay Chart and won the band an APRA Award. BIRDS OF TOKYO also received the publicly voted Rolling Stone Readers Choice Award and ARIA Award for Most Popular Australian Artist. Spearheaded by the album’s first two singles This Fire and Lanterns, the bands fourth studio album March Fires debuted #1 on the National ARIA Album Chart – the band’s first ever #1 record. The album was certified Gold within four weeks of release and has since surpassed Platinum sales, while the quadruple platinum single ‘Lanterns’ was the most played song on Australian radio in 2013. With a playlist boasting some of the biggest Aussie rock anthems of the last few years BIRDS OF TOKYO are destined to incite an all-in, mass sing-a-long at next year’s Muster, and we sure as hell can’t wait!

Deni Ute Muster favourites THE SUNNY COWGIRLS will return to the Plains to take the reigns as festival MC’s, sharing all their insider information and tips for ensuring a knockout Muster experience. The talented sisters Sophie and Celeste Clabburn will also take to the main stage for their own performance which will, as always, be one to watch! With their latest album, My Old Man making moves on the Australian Country Music Chart, THE SUNNY COWGIRLS are undoubtedly one of Australia’s most in-demand Country acts and we’re proud as punch to count them as a much-loved member of the Deni Ute Muster family. We look forward to once again basking in the glow of their unmistakeable sunshine when the Utes roll into town next year!

From Deni Ute Muster veterans to some super impressive rookies – THE WOLFE BROTHERS are also confirmed to join the party next October. Since bursting onto the scene in mid-2012 when they captured the attention of the nation and were voted into second place in the final of the nationally televised show Australia’s Got Talent, THE WOLFE BROTHERS have gone from strength to strength, from the release of their debut album, It is On, in January 2013, to touring and playing to sell-out crowds across the country as special guests on Lee Kernaghan’s Beautiful Noise Tour over the last 2 years. THE WOLFE BROTHERS are undoubtedly making their mark on the Australian music landscape and are fast becoming country music’s most talked about young artists and we cannot wait for them to sprinkle a little bit of their magic on the Deni Ute Muster crowd in 2015.

Minister for Regional Tourism John Barilaro said the Deni Ute Muster has been delighting audiences for 16 years with a fantastic line up of music and family fun and a celebration of the mighty Ute.

“The event is a highlight of the NSW Events Calendar and the NSW Government is proud to be a strategic partner of the Deni Ute Muster,” Mr Barilaro said.

“We look forward to supporting this iconic event once again in 2015,” Mr Barilaro said.

In its first year (1999), the Festival had approximately 5,000 patrons and set a new Guinness World Record for the most number of legally paraded utes at 2,839 – a record which still stands today. Since 1999 the Deni Ute Muster has become the region’s biggest tourist drawcard and a “bucket list” celebration of all things Australian.

Deni Ute Muster General Manager, Kate Pitt, said, “If you only do one festival in 2015 make it the Muster – it has an ambience like no other festival which is why we have just taken out the Best Regional Event in Australia Award and we have huge plans for 2015.”

Member for Murray-Darling, John Williams, added, “The Deni Ute Muster is an outstanding event that showcases Deniliquin and the Southern Riverina. Like all very successful regional events in NSW, at the core of the Ute Muster is the outstanding voluntary work by the Deniliquin and local community. I congratulate the community of Deniliquin on their continued success with this event”.
