Australia\u2019s country music calendar is about to gain a major new addition, with\u00a0LONGHAUL Touring<\/strong>\u00a0unveiling a large-scale festival led by\u00a0Kane Brown<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Kacey Musgraves<\/strong>\u00a0in what will be their\u00a0only Australian performances<\/strong>. Backseat Mafia caught Musgraves at the Sydney Opera house in 2025.<\/a><\/p>\n The event marks the launch of LONGHAUL Touring,\u00a0TEG Live\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0dedicated country music division, signalling an ambitious push to bring internationally acclaimed artists to Australian audiences while continuing to support the next generation of local talent.<\/p>\n While Brown and Musgraves top the bill, the festival stretches well beyond its two headline names, pairing established international artists with emerging Australian voices. US singer-songwriter\u00a0Charles Wesley Godwin<\/strong>\u00a0joins acclaimed Americana artist\u00a0Margo Price<\/strong>, Canadian favourites\u00a0James Barker Band<\/strong>, and rising American performer\u00a0Maddox Batson<\/strong>, creating a lineup that spans contemporary country, roots music and Americana.<\/p>\n Australian artists are equally well represented, with\u00a0Ava Hall<\/strong>,\u00a0Beau Shearer<\/strong>,\u00a0Denvah<\/strong>,\u00a0Nathan Lamont<\/strong>,\u00a0Taylor Moss<\/strong>and\u00a0Tyla Rodrigues<\/strong>\u00a0rounding out a lineup designed to showcase the breadth of the country\u2019s own country music scene alongside global stars.<\/p>\n The festival also reflects LONGHAUL Touring\u2019s broader ambitions. Beyond headline tours, the new promoter has outlined plans to develop emerging artists through its Jam shows while expanding opportunities for country music across Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n For Australian fans, the biggest draw is likely to be the rare opportunity to catch\u00a0Kane Brown<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Kacey Musgraves<\/strong>\u00a0on home soil. With both artists confirmed for exclusive Australian appearances, the festival is positioning itself as one of the country\u2019s most significant new additions to the live music landscape.<\/p>\n
