The heart of country music will once again beat in Western Australia, with the final line-up and program announced for the Boyup Brook Country Music Festival, which kicks off on Friday 17 and runs until Sunday 19 February.

The township will come alive and host an unforgettable weekend of music and family entertainment, with more than 50 WA performing artists, headlined by three-time 2023 Golden Guitar winners Brooke McClymont and Adam Eckersley as well as The Bushwackers and the award-winning Codee-Lee.

Country Music Club of Boyup Brook President, Daly Winter said the return of the festival after two years of cancellations promised to be one for the ages.

“The wait is finally over, we're thrilled to be in our final stages of preparations and announce our full line-up and festival program, which includes an impressive collection of amazing music and entertainment for an experience to remember,” he said. “There’s something for everyone in our three-day festival program, which is jam-packed full of WA country fun, including 25 hours of tunes at the Music Park and an explosion of colour and energy at Saturday's Lotterywest Street Carnival with buskers and roving performers.”

“The expansive markets on Friday and Saturday offer unique homemade and grown goodies, as well as a new location this year, opposite the Music Park and a new market stage with live performances,” Winter continued. “Always a family favourite are the activities for kids, which this year includes stilt walking and rock climbing as well as roving entertainment by the Freedom Fairies and Top of the Stairs Puppets performances.”
