Get ready for a night of pure honky-tonk energy 🤠🔥 The Big River All Stars roll in from Dangar Island — a hidden, water-access-only haven on the Hawkesbury River known for its tight-knit community of artists and musicians. This crew brings serious talent, led by James Daley (of acclaimed bluegrass outfit The Morrisons) on electric guitar and vocals. Backed by Alex Jung (double bass), Professor Godbolt (piano), and Steve Griffiths (acoustic guitar & lap steel), they serve up a wild mix of Western swing, honky tonk, and vintage country — the kind of sound that gets boots moving and the dancefloor buzzing. Expect surprise guests, loose vibes, and a proper roots music session. And then returning to the ranch for the second time A legendary name behind the decks, The Colonel made his mark hosting the infamous Tackleshack — the secret, artists-only VVIP venue at Splendour in the Grass. Known for wild nights and unforgettable sets, he’s since taken his southern-fried sound across festivals nationwide, including his own stage at Groundwater Country Music Festival. His sets? High-energy, no rules, all vibes. Think country, swamp blues, vintage soul, early rock’n’roll, bluegrass, dirty funk and everything in between — delivered with unmatched energy. This isn’t just a show — it’s a full-blown party. Big sound, big dancefloor, and the kind of night people talk about after 🔥
