“It’s been a beautiful sonic and scenic journey for Dashville Skyline since 2015. A world class musical offering, Australia’s very own Cosmic Country Weekender, and we are incredibly honoured to celebrate the festival’s 10th anniversary in 2024. Eloquently and independently showcasing the best of Australian alternative country music, folk and roots in a magical bushland location, we sure do put a lot of energy into building an eclectic countrified line up each year. We pack it full to the brim, with three stages of established and emerging superstars, all who make incredible music and show up to blow the hair back on a must do weekend of live music and camping on a rare and sacred patch of Wonnarua bushland.

So here we go, the first portion of acts coming along to join in the fun on the biggest Skyline party of the decade. Thank you in advance for sharing this news far and wide, and if its something you fancy, thank you for jumping in, showing the love and grabbing tickets when you’re able.

Have a wonderful weekend ahead“. Cheers, Team Dashville
