Riverboats Music Festival Announce Huge Line-up Feat. Tex Perkins, Jen Cloher & More

Riverboats Music Festival is returning in 2019 and they have delivered a massive line-up!

This year's festival will be headlined by Tex Perkins (performing his Far From Folsom Johnny Cash show on the Saturday line-up), Jen Cloher (Saturday), Don Walker (Sunday), Mark Seymour & The Undertow (Friday), The Waifs (Sunday) and Augie March (Saturday).

BIGSOUND 2018 alum Gabriella Cohen will join the Friday line-up, as will The Kill Devils Hills, while Benny Walker, Deborah Conway & Willy Zygier, and The Public Opinion Afro Orchestra play Saturday, and Leah Senior and Fraser A Gorman join the Sunday line-up. RocKwiz's Brian Nankervis will be hosting across the weekend.

“After winning Gold for Best Festival at last year’s QANTAS Australian Tourism Awards, we are so excited to once again be bringing together a phenomenal lineup of artists in 2019," said festival director David Frazer.

“Over one incredible weekend the Riverboats audience can expect to sing along to Hunters and Collectors’ classics with Mark Seymour on the Friday night before blissing out to the sublime, Joni-Mitchell-esque vocals of Leah Senior on the Sunday. They’ll wear out their dancing shoes to Nigerian funk outfit the Public Opinion Afro Orchestra on Saturday afternoon before Tex Perkins channels Johnny Cash and takes us behind the walls of Folsom Prison in the 1960s. And to finally be presenting Australian folk darlings The Waifs to close Riverboats in style is something we’re particularly excited about.”

The festival will take place in the Echuca-Moama area, 17-19 February. Check out theGuide for more info.
