The Gympie Music Muster celebrated its 2023 return with a Pre-Muster party for four-day ticket holders ahead of the August 24-27 event.
Revellers gathered from 2pm on Sunday to catch performances from Indigo, Midwest Molly, Bud Rokesky and Natalie Pearson.
The 2023 line-up included Wolfmother, Kasey Chambers, Morgan Evans, Troy Cassar-Daley, Taylor Moss and Adam Brand.
Staged deep within the natural surrounds of Amamoor State Forest, the Muster is a family-friendly camping and live music event featuring country, roots, blues, folk and rock music, as well as workshops, bush poets, the Gympie Mazda Kid’s Club and more.
The first Gympie Music Muster was held in 1982 as a celebration of the Golden Guitar win by local country family band, the Webb Brothers.
It has since grown into one of Australia’s most recognised fundraising music events, returning more than $20 million to community groups and charities since its inception.
Over the years, the Muster has hosted more than 2500 performances, including Australian country music icon Slim Dusty, who has a camping area named in his honour.
The Muster is owned by the Apex Club of Gympie and has always carried the same central purpose: raising funds for people and communities in need.
After Covid-19 forced the event to close in 2020 and 2021, the Muster returned with audiences travelling from across Australia to enjoy live music across seven stages.
