Grammy-winner Lainey Wilson in Newcastle for Howlin' Country
Howlin' Country is bootscootin' its way back to Newcastle this summer with a line-up headlined by Grammy Award-winner Lainey Wilson and homegrown talent Morgan Evans. They'll be joined at the Foreshore on February 14 by US performers Kaitlin Butts and Flatland Cavalry, Lake Macquarie's Adam Newling, and Brisbane's Tyla Rodrigues. More artists will be announced in the coming months. Newcastle-based Howlin' Country promoter Moe Matthew says 12,500 music lovers attended the inaugural festival on February 15 this year, which was headlined by Tyler Childers. The festival is "100 per cent locally owned and operated and has a strong commitment to the Newcastle community - whether that be through locally sourced vendors, staff or its commitment to showcasing some of the region's best local talent". "It's great to have Howlin' back for another year. From day one, the festival was built to support our local music scene, artists and businesses," he said. "Each year, we put a strong focus on showcasing homegrown talent, and having Adam Newling and Morgan Evans on the line-up this year really captures what Howlin' is all about. "We still have a few more artists to add to the line-up, but so far it feels like it's shaping up to be a fun day out in an awesome city, and one you can enjoy with the whole family." Mr Matthew has previously promoted music festivals This That, and Scene & Heard out of Wickham Park. Lainey Wilson has had a monumental rise to fame in recent years. She won a Grammy Award in 2024 for best contemporary country album for her album Bell Bottom Country, and has 16 American Country Music awards and nine Country Music Association awards to her name. The Nashville artist, who made her acting debut in popular US series Yellowstone in 2022, has had eight No.1 hits, including 4x4xU, Watermelon Moonshine and Heart Like A Truck, wrote and recorded Out of Oklahoma for the movie Twisters (2024), and has collaborated with the likes of Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert, Dolly Parton and Post Malone. ARIA Award-winning artist Morgan Evans, another Lake Macquarie local, last performed in Newcastle in 2023. He found fame overseas with his breakthrough Platinum-certified No.1 single Kiss Somebody and the Gold-certified Day Drunk, has more than 800 million streams, and has sold-out tours across the globe. Nashville and Texas-based sextet Flatland Cavalry have just celebrated 10 years together, and in that time have racked up six No.1 singles on Texas Country Radio and more than 500 million streams. They've also shared the stage with the likes of Willie Nelson, Luke Combs, Jordan Davis, and Midland. Kaitlin Butts has a deep affinity for country music's more theatrical side - the extravagant storytelling, dazzling showmanship, and songs embedded with unbridled emotion and quick-fire humour. At Howlin' Country, the Tulsa native will be bringing her 2024 album Roadrunner! to life; a 17-track high-concept album that acts as a modern-day reimagining of the soundtrack to her all-time favourite musical, Oklahoma!. The 2026 edition of the festival will also feature some of Australia's brightest stars, including Adam Newling, who grew up in Warners Bay, and Brisbane's Tyla Rodrigues.
