Country music lovers, dust off your boots—Ridin’ Hearts Festival is saddling up for another unforgettable year! Returning for its third edition in October 2025, Australia’s premier city-based country music festival is set to bring the best of Nashville to Sydney and Melbourne once again.

From the creators of CMC Rocks QLD, Ridin’ Hearts has quickly become the ultimate destination for both die-hard country fans and the country-curious. With past lineups featuring stars like Riley Green, Bailey Zimmerman, Cooper Alan, and Sam Barber, 2025 promises to be even bigger.

Beyond the music, festivalgoers can immerse themselves in an authentic country experience, complete with pop-up bars, delicious eats, fashion markets, and interactive activations. The festival’s signature Sparkle Station will be back to add some glam, while the Bulldust Bar will be serving up its famous Ride ‘Em Gambler cocktail. For those looking for a VIP experience, the Diamond Club upgrade offers an exclusive way to enjoy the festival.

The Ridin’ Starts Initiative also returns, giving local emerging artists the chance to make their festival debut.

With lineup and ticketing details coming soon, fans should mark their calendars for October 25 in Sydney and October 26 in Melbourne—this is one country party not to be missed!
