US country hip-hop stars to headline new Perth festival
Festival organisers dropped the star-studded lineup on Thursday after announcing the new event last week, which will hit the Sunshine Coast on October 25 and Newcastle on November 1 before stopping in Perth at Claremont Showgrounds on November 2.
Headliner Jelly Roll will head Down Under for Strummingbird, from the team behind Spilt Milk, marking his first-ever visit here.
Global sensation Shaboozey will also make his Aussie debut, alongside the likes of Treaty Oak Revival, James Johnston, Kaylee Bell, Matt Hansen and Hot Dub Time Machine with a rock and country-centric set.
It's exciting news for fans after four-time Grammy-nominated Jelly Roll's latest album, Beautifully Broken, debuted at number one on the Billboard Top 200 charts last year.
Beyond music, the Nashville-born star has built a stalwart community of fans across the globe through the release of his record-breaking ABC News documentary Save Me.
Meanwhile, Shaboozey is sure to get the crowd hyped up with his viral track A Bar Song (Tipsy), which held the top spot of the Billboard Hot 100 for 19 weeks.
Unfortunately, Texan country rock outfit Treaty Oak Revival will deliver a blend of Southern rock and punk to the East Coast only, but Aussie James Johnston will bring his modern country style to all cities.

Wrapping up the celebrity sets but keeping the party vibes going is Hot Dub Time Machine who will host a Late Night Riot across all dates.
The homegrown party favourite is set to take festivalgoers on a musical journey through time with a country and rock and roll twist.
Not only are world-class music acts on offer, but punters can also saddle up for a mechanical bull ride or get rowdy in the Howdy Howdy Saloon for line dancing with Maddison Glover.

Inside look at the Logies 2025 Afterparty: The exclusive photos you won't see anywhere else
It's the night Aussie TV's brightest stars wait for all year, the Logies 2025, and we're not just talking about the red carpet. While the Logies ceremony may serve the glam and the gold, the real party kicks off when the lights go down, the heels come off, and the drinks start flowing. And this year, we had someone on the inside snapping the exclusive photos you won't see anywhere else using Kodak 800-Speed Film. Thanks to a source with a Kodak Fun Saver Single Use Camera in hand, we scored exclusive access to the best moments of the Logies 2025 afterparty. These are the snaps you won't see on the official socials. The Kodak Fun Saver, which you can grab on Amazon Australia for just $28, proved to be the unsung hero of the night. Packed with Kodak 800-Speed Film and capable of shooting 27 photos, this little retro gem delivered pure gold. Its built-in flash works at a range of 1.2 to 4.5 metres, which made it the perfect tool for capturing intimate, low-light moments without disturbing the mischief. So what did we catch on film? For starters, Angela Cox was spotted raising her champagne flute in a glitzy toast — a picture-perfect moment of pure celebration. Meanwhile, Michael Usher, clearly in the spirit, was snapped with a rose clamped between his teeth, very Dancing With The Stars inspired (if you ask us). Kylie Gillies looked radiant, laughing alongside friends in a shimmering white number, while Larry Emdur was caught getting cosy with none other than a bottle of his very own Ben Buckler Whisky from Corowa Distilling Co. Talk about on-brand. The fun didn't stop there. Melanie Bracewell and David Woiwod were all smiles in a sweet, candid snap. And of course, we couldn't leave out Sally Bowrey, seen ducking into frame mid-laugh. While professional photographers were long gone and the official coverage had wrapped, our film camera kept on snapping. That's the magic of analogue — no filters, no retakes, just the raw, gritty joy of a night well celebrated. And before you write this off as just another fun throwback, consider this your excuse to add a disposable camera to your own next big night out. The Kodak Fun Saver isn't just nostalgia — it's proof that sometimes, the best moments come when you don't see the flash coming. Available now on Amazon Australia, this $28 camera gives you 27 chances to capture memories you'll laugh at for years. Just ask the stars. Logies 2025 Celeb Approved Products 1.
