The 9th chapter of Australia’s Cosmic Country Weekender, Dashville Skyline, takes place in the depths of the Hunter Valley countryside on the October Long weekend, Friday 29th September, Saturday 30th and Sunday 1st October 2023, on the hallowed ‘island in the stream’, Dashville, in Wonnarua Country, Hunter Valley, NSW.
Tickets for Dashville Skyline 2023 are on sale now at the Dashville Store.
The festival program extends from Thursday 28th September through to Sunday night, October 1, 2023.
Dashville has just announced that Australia’s supreme Vika & Linda will be coming along with their band The Bullettes, and the festival welcomes back legendary songwriter and frontman Tim Rogers, this time with his band The Twin Set.
Other notable inclusions in the first round include the powerful blues soul of Karen Lee Andrews, popular folk blues rockers Hussy Hicks and the hugely talented songwriter Jack Davies all the way from Western Australia. Geelong based Bones and Jones who blew us away with their take on 60s rock n roll at The Gum Ball will make their debut Skyline appearance.
Whilst there’ll be some hefty fresh discoveries in 2023’s line up, such as Queenie, New Zealand’s Jenny Mitchell and T.C. Jones, there’s also a few familiar faces returning from past iterations, including the vintage southern rock sounds of Melbourne’s Sweet Talk, alt-rockers The Settlement, Northern River’s country punks Jimmy Willing & The Real Gone Hick Ups and Echuca born wildman Watty Thompson, back with his debut album and incredible Total Fire Band.
The family friendly camping festival is a favourite for those who like their music a bit more laid back with a myriad of artistic collaborations, family activities and laid back old-school country-inspired fun.
Scouring the musical landscape to bring our dedicated audience a fine selection of musical legends and modern head-turners, the hardworking team at Dashville are pleased to reveal the first taste of the great ‘Cosmic Country Weekender’ line up:
Vika & Linda With The Bullettes + Tim Rogers & The Twin Set + Karen Lee Andrews + Sweet Talk + Hussy Hicks + Bones And Jones + Jack Davies + Queenie + Magpie Diaries + John Flanagan + Babitha + Hana And Jessie-Lee’s Bad Habits + Watty Thompson + Jenny Mitchell (Nz) + Cj Stranger + Jimmy Willing & The Real Gone Hick Ups + The Settlement + Willie J & The Bad Books + Kingsley James + T.C.
