Setting themselves up for another big year, Riverboats locks in some of the biggest names in music. The Living End have been shaking things up since the 90’s – while their hairstyles have changed, their punk spirit and infectious stage presence hasn’t. Expect ‘Prisoner of Society’, ‘White Noise’, ‘All Torn Down’, and ‘Second Solution’ to slam their way into their setlist. Baker Boy will be coming off of a huge Australian tour to play the festival, celebrating his deadly sophomore DJANDJAY. Emma Donovan is another standout, serenading with her take on Take Me To The River, and both Xavier Rudd and Cash Savage & The Last Drinks will serve up their very best.

The festival further boasts newcomers, trailblazers, and mainstay acts including Bleak Squad, The Counterfeits ft Freya Josephine Hollick, Daisy Kilbourne, Felicity Urquhart, Merpire, Norwood, Queenie and The Wildlings.

Following a successful 2025 edition which saw huge names in Australian music, John Butler, The Cruel Sea, Ian Moss, Grace Cummings, Dan Sultan and a reunited Perth powerhouse Little Birdy play the celebrated river-side festival, 2026 will be just as big, based on the names along. More than that, the beloved festival has becomes a staple celebration for the dual towns, bringing families together to enjoy live music.
