Big country sound, Perth city stage
Strummingbird Festival 2025
On Sunday 2 November 2025, the Claremont Showground will come alive with the first-ever Strummingbird Festival in Perth. This debut event is bringing together some of the biggest names in country music for one unmissable day.
From the gritty storytelling of Jelly Roll (making his Australian debut) to the genre-bending sounds of Shaboozey, you’ll also catch sets from Treaty Oak Revival, James Johnston, Kaylee Bell, Matt Hansen, and Hot Dub Time Machine with a special country-meets-rock performance.
With just one date in Perth, this is your chance to experience a world-class lineup without leaving WA.
