In short, the Mount Hunter Country Music Stampede is a celebration of country life and music. To elaborate, it’s a fresh, three-day festival that’s designed to showcase Australian country artists both established and new, held at the K Ranch Arena just 50 minutes from Sydney Airport.
Running from Friday 12th to Sunday 14th October, the Stampede is the brainchild of Mick Kearney, owner of K Ranch, and Drew McAlister, winner of multiple Golden Guitars. Featuring performances by some of country music’s powerhouse performers, the Stampede is well on its way to becoming something truly special even before mentioning the Maton Rising Star Competition, running for the second time, and a wealth of events to get the crowd really feeling country.
The Stampede kicks off on Friday evening and it’s definitely one for the girls. With Christie Lamb and Jasmine Rae performing, there’s no chance punters will want to miss the opening night.
While these incredibly talented women will get the Stampede off to a huge start, Saturday is a chance for the guys to strut their stuff during a Men of Country Showcase featuring Drew McAlister, Adam Harvey and Adam Brand.
Sunday will feature the Maton Rising Star Competition, which is back for its second year now with both a junior and senior section. It’s a huge opportunity to not only be a part of a young, growing festival, but to also perform at the following year’s festival as a paid act and there are some exciting prizes to be announced shortly. There’ll also be events featuring traditional cowboy skills, as well as an equestrian competition utilising K Ranch’s internationally recognised equestrian area.
Mick Kearney conceived the idea for K Ranch after visiting a ranch in Texas. He came home and, over the course of five years, built his vision just outside of Sydney on 400 acres in Mount Hunter. With a bar, boutique, Texas BBQ and saddler, K Ranch regularly hosts a variety of equestrian events, live music, private functions and corporate events.
It’s an incredible venue for a festival and though there’ll be no tent camping available, ticket holders are able to bring their caravan or trailer and stay on site for the entire weekend. If this isn’t an option and they’d still like the full Stampede experience, they’re also welcome to roll out a swag in one of the stables for just $30 per night. The stables are 3x3m and can sleep two people, and the hirer must bring all necessary equipment.
Save time and money by pre-purchasing single day and all weekend passes online, starting from $25 plus booking fees. Prices will be more expensive on the gate.
