Tickets available now: OUT ON THE WEEKEND
Leading the charge is Nashville outlaw Nikki Lane & Her Band, bringing grit, glamour and rhinestone swagger to the Seaworks’ stage for the first time in 11 years. Nikki is joined by first time visitor, Texan troubadour Vincent Neil Emerson and his band, and groove-heavy road dogs Cordovas.
Also confirmed for the 2025 line-up: local cosmic cowboys Lost Ragas, rising Californian folk songbirds Sylvie, Irish-American pickers and clawhammers Dug touring Oz for the first time, the down-home and dirty charm of husband-and-wife team laid back country picker, and Canadian folk duo Kacy & Clayton.
Homegrown favourites Skyscraper Stan & The Commission Flats, Ella Hooper, Loretta Miller Band and Midnight Chicken add to the local flavour alongside the Henry Wagons & The Tennessee Studs performing the good n gritty Cash: A Journey Through The American Recordings. Make your way to the Pirate’s Tavern Honky Tonk for sets by James Ellis & The Jealous Guys and J.Taylor Bell & The Ding Dongs along with two step lessons.
With its trademark mix of excellent live music, hand selected booze, fine food, and feel-good vibes, Out On The Weekend is the place to be for lovers of Americana, twang, and good ol’ country and western for a day of celebration, old friends, musical discovery and looking good down by the water.
Punters can enhance their Out On The Weekend journey with a voyage across the bay on the Cripple Creek Ferry or Take A Coach Out West from their favourite breweries. See ticketing for details.
