Broadbeach’s Groundwater Country Music Festival will return for its 10th birthday edition later this year, taking over the Gold Coast suburb from Friday Friday, 20th to Sunday, 22nd October. Organisers have just dropped the second lineup announcement of the free festival, with Tasmanian outfit The Wolfe Brothers, veterans Adam Harvey and Beccy Cole, Gympie singer Caitlyn Shadbolt, and Tori Forsyth all added to the bill.
A slew of overseas acts have also been added, including Summer Dean, Melissa Carper, and The Pink Stones. They join artists like Lee Kernaghan, Amber Lawrence, Jackson Dean, and Casey Barnes, who were revealed on the first lineup announcement. See the full list below.
The Wolfe Brothers: ‘Here’s To The Ones’
“We are determined to put on a party that our Groundwater CMF fans won’t ever forget as we celebrate 10 years of country music on the Gold Coast,” festival director Mark Duckworth said in a statement.
“Not only will we be bringing back some of our festival favourites from over the years but also seeing some new faces on our Broadbeach stages. This lineup represents the best of the best in Australian country music, plus some incredible overseas acts you won’t want to miss.”
The Wolfe Brothers are currently in the middle of an extensive Australian tour in support of their latest album Livin’ The Dream, with dates in North Queensland, Victoria, and NSW still to come – they finish up Saturday, 2nd September at the Goulburn Workers Club in NSW.
Adam Harvey and Beccy Cole, meanwhile, will be bringing songs from their latest collaborative album The Great Country Songbook Volume III, which came out in September 2022.
