The event will be launched in spectacular fashion with a brand new Thursday night ticketed event inside the new seated entertainment venue, The Grand Pavilion.
This first for the iconic festival will double as a fundraiser for the Deniliquin High School’s P&C, which is fundraising to replace items lost in a fire at the school in November.
The Ultimate Superstars of Country tribute show will take over the Deni Ute Muster site on Thursday, October 1, featuring three powerhouse musicians who emulate Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen.
Muster general manager Vicky Lowry said the new event marks an exciting addition to the Muster calendar, giving visitors arriving early for the long weekend even more reason to head to Deniliquin ahead of the main festival program.
With gates opening from 7pm, patrons can enjoy food trucks, licensed bar facilities and a full-scale production show commencing at 8pm inside The Grand Pavilion.
“The Deniliquin High School P&C has been chosen as one of our official charities for 2026, and we wanted to create an event that not only gives people another fantastic experience during Muster Week, but also provides support following the tragic school fire,” Mrs Lowry said.
“This is about bringing people together for a great night while supporting an important part of our local community.”
A separate ticket costing $33.50 (including booking fee) is required for the Thursday show, and it’s open to everyone - not just Ute Muster attendees.
Tickets are limited, and are expected to attract strong interest after they open at 9am today.
Importantly, $5 from every ticket will be donated directly to the P&C.
For patrons not camping onsite or not attending the Deni Ute Muster, bus transport from town is be included in the ticket price.
No vehicle access will be available to the site for the event unless patrons are already camping onsite and have entered prior to gate closure at 7pm.
Mrs Lowry said the announcement continues the evolution of the Deni Ute Muster into a full week of entertainment and activations across Deniliquin, with further announcements still to come surrounding new CBD activations and expanded family friendly programming for 2026.
