The festival kicks off from 5pm on Friday with Kate Hindle, Cactus Rose and Chad Hewett playing before Jonny Reid closes the show.
Saturday’s program will run from 11.30am, with headliner Brand ending the festival.
Scott Hollow, manager of event organiser Event People, said the festival would feature “some of the best Australian artists in that genre”.
Mr Hollow said the event was not just for fans of country music.

“I’m not a country music fan at the end of the day but I enjoy who we bring to the line-up, so it’s worth coming to have a look.”
The festival is already pencilled in for 2024 and Mr Hollow hoped it would become an annual event to bring music fans to Mandurah.
