Howlin' Country

Howlin' Country is Newcastle's premier all-ages country music festival, held at the iconic Newcastle Foreshore. Launched in 2025 with a headline set by Tyler Childers, the festival brings together a mix of international stars, Aussie favourites, emerging artists, and DJ sets across multiple stages. Designed for fans of all ages, the event blends country music with a relaxed coastal vibe, featuring great food, drinks, and a laid-back atmosphere.

Following a huge debut, Howlin' Country returns, promising another unforgettable day of music and good times. The 2026 lineup is coming soon, with a fresh mix of artists set to be announced.

Whether you're there for the singalongs, the dancefloor, or the family-friendly energy, Howlin' is where country meets the coast—right in the heart of Newcastle.
