Riverboats Music Festival 2026

The multi-award-winning Riverboats Music Festival is back from February 1315, 2026, descending on the banks of the Murray River, on Yorta Yorta country in Echuca-Moama with its biggest line-up yet.

For three days under the towering river red gums, Riverboats 2026 will bring together an incredible mix of talent, community and good times!

Friday sets the tone with the alt-folk sounds of Norwood, Brisbanes psych-rockers Full Flower Moon Band, and a huge headline set from Baker Boy - described by The Guardian as the kind of rapper who can get a crowd airborne within seconds.

Saturday is stacked from start to finish: local duo The Wildlings open the day, followed by Queenie, Felicity Urquhart & Josh Cunningham, the Andrew Gurruwiwi Band (all the way from N.E. Arnhem Land!), the new all-star project Bleak Squad (featuring Mick Harvey, Mick Turner & Adalita), the powerhouse soul of Emma Donovan performing Take Me To The River (a tribute to the soul icons of the last century), and the all-commanding Cash Savage & The Last Drinks. All this leading into a massive headline performance from one of the best live bands this country has ever produced, The Living End.

Sunday closes the festival with Daisy Kilbourne, a spaghetti-western inspired project The Counterfeit ft. Freya Josephine Hollick, indie-pop fav Merpire, Paul Dempseys super fun Shotgun Karaoke, and a stunning finale from roots icon, Xavier Rudd.

Don't miss it!
