And they’re not the only international musicians set to grace the main stage in 2025.
Also confirmed in today’s first artist announcement is fellow United States artist Jackson Dean.
As one of Nashville’s most intriguing artists with his strong gravel-toned vocals, wayward spirit, songwriting and overall mystique, the fast-rising singer/songwriter is quickly earning a reputation for his impressive live show and thought-provoking, lyric-driven music.
They feature among a strong list of Australian acts, including Muster crowd favourite John Williamson who will bring his ‘55 Years - My Travellin’ Days Are Done’ tour to Deni.
Also returning to the Deni Ute Muster stage this year will be Kasey Chambers, Troy Cassar-Daley and The Wolfe Brothers.
Also announced to be making their Deni Ute Muster main stage debut will be Kaylee Bell, Lane Pittman, Max Jackson, Wade Forster, Homegrown Trio, and Furnace and The Fundamentals.
MC on the main stage this year will be Muster favourite Amber Lawrence.
Deni Ute Muster general manager Vicky Lowry said with this great line-up and a huge around the grounds entertainment scheduled, the Deni Ute Muster continues to celebrate the unique spirit of our community while welcoming visitors from across Australia and internationally to experience something truly iconic.
“Each year, we strive to deliver an unforgettable event that showcases not only great entertainment and tradition, but also the incredible regional pride that makes Deniliquin so special,” she said.
“We’re proud to see the Muster grow in reputation and reach, and we remain committed to supporting our local economy, creating lasting memories, and celebrating all things ute, country, and community."

NSW Minister for Jobs and Tourism Steve Kamper said this year’s Muster plans highlight why the event continues to grow in popularity and importance each year.
“The iconic Deni Ute Muster continues to be one of the largest events in regional New South Wales, providing an important contribution to the local visitor economy,” he said.
“Every year, tens of thousands of people of all ages flock to the Riverina to celebrate music and the Aussie ute.
This year’s line-up once again features international stars like the Zac Brown Band and familiar local acts, truly bringing the party back to Deniliquin for 2025.
“I encourage visitors to explore the local area as part of their trip to the Deni Ute Muster – the Riverina is one of New South Wales’ most beautiful regions with plenty to offer when it comes to visitor experiences.”
The Deni Ute Muster is one of the top ‘bucket list’ events in Australia and annually attracts close to 20,000 people of all ages to celebrate all things Australian and, of course, the iconic ‘ute’.
The Muster has amazing community support with more than 1000 volunteers mobilising each year to help put on the event, which donates close to $100,000 back to community groups.
The event was born in 1999, when a group of community minded locals came together with the aim to start a rural themed festival to bring visitors to Deniliquin.
It was devised to bring vibrancy back to the community which was struggling with a crippling drought.
The Wolfe Brothers last performed at the Muster in 2012.

The first Deni Play on the Plains Festival, as it was known at the time, took place in October 1999, on the flattest, natural, open plains on Earth, and with ‘ute culture’ being an intrinsic part of Deniliquin, it was unanimous that it would play a major part of the festival and hence the Deni Ute Muster burst into the national psyche.
In its first year, the Deni Ute Muster had about 5000 patrons and set a new Guinness World Record for the greatest number of legally paraded utes at 2,839 – a record which still stands today.
It also holds the record for the World Record Ute Count, which stands at 9736 utes, and the singlet muster record to beat is 4367.
The Deni Ute Muster is proudly supported by the NSW Government’s tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW.
