Following a successful 2025 edition which saw huge names in Australian music, John Butler, The Cruel Sea, Ian Moss, Grace Cummings, Dan Sultan and a reunited Perth powerhouse Little Birdy play the celebrated river-side festival, Riverboats rows back into the region. The single stage celebration brings together the dual border-town communities of Echuca and Moama for a day of brilliant music, river activations and delicious music in Australia’s most breath-taking location. Even better, the festival is full-family friendly.

As the sun sets, the galah’s fly overhead and the stage lights shine, there is no better spot to be on the warm summer’s night.

The highly anticipated 2026 event will be nothing short of spectacular. While details are still slim, the lineup is expected to drop on Monday 13 October, offering more of an overview of the festivities for the annual event.

Mark your calendars for the drop and reserve that annual leave for the beloved festival.
