Global superstars The Wiggles will add to the star power at this year’s Deniliquin Ute Muster.

The group’s Muster debut is part of a huge day stage and around the grounds entertainment line-up.

The Wiggles will be joined by all their wiggly friends - Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog, Henry the Octopus, Captain Feathersword and TikTok sensation The Tree of Wisdom - with a show that will have all the youngest Musterers, and some older ones, on their feet singing and dancing along.

Simon Pryce, the Red Wiggle said an appearance at the Muster is perfectly aligned with the group’s new country album, ‘Wiggle Up, Giddy Up!’.

“We’re absolutely thrilled that The Wiggles are coming to the iconic Deni Ute Muster for the very first time,” he said.

“It’s such a special event that brings families and communities together, and we can’t wait to sing, dance, and Wiggle with all the little - and big - Musterers on the Main Stage!”

For the country album, the iconic group has joined forces with some of the genre’s biggest international names including Dolly Parton, Dasha, Lainey Wilson, and Orville Peck - along with homegrown favourites and 2024 Deni Ute Muster performers Jackson Dean, Kaylee Bell, The Wolfe Brothers, and Troy Cassar-Daley.

Deni Ute Muster general manager Vicky Lowry said securing one of the world’s best children’s entertainment groups perfectly complements the event’s goal to be family-friendly.

“We’re so excited to welcome The Wiggles to the Deni Ute Muster for the very first time,” she said.

“Their high-energy, family-friendly show adds another layer of entertainment to what is already shaping up to be one of our biggest and most diverse Musters yet.

With a jam-packed Around the Ground program of 36 activations alongside our stellar music line-up, we’re not sure how ticket holders will fit it all in over just two days.

“There’s truly something for everyone, and every minute will be full of fun.”

Other main stage artists in 2025 are American artists Zac Brown Band and Jackson Dean, alongside John Williamson, Kasey Chambers, Troy Cassar-Daley, The Wolfe Brothers, Kaylee Bell, Lane Pittman, Max Jackson, Wade Forster, Homegrown Trio and Furnace and the Fundamentals.

The SunRice Day Stage will also be hosting a plethora of established and up-and-coming artists across the weekend including The Pleasures, Tori Darke, Brendan Radford, Jay Santilli, Mak & Shar, Briana Dinsdale, 2025 Toyota Star Maker Felicity Kircher, the yet-to-be-announced 2025 Gympie Music Muster Talent winner, Zac Weeks, Limelight, The Gents, and the Deni Bush Poets.

Country music queen Amber Lawrence will host the main and day stages for the first time.

“As well as our incredible music line-up from morning until late night, we pride ourselves on the array of activities that are on offer at the Deni Ute Muster and this year’s event is filled with action-packed adventures and attractions for all the family,” Mrs Lowry said.

“Joining us for the first time will be Farmer Darryl’s Mobile Animal Farm, giant Bluey Jumping Castle, Kid’s Convoy, Laser Tag, Monster Truck Show and rides, Murray Mermaids, Sand Wizard, Slot Cars and the Smart Party Bubble Show.”

The Deni Ute Muster is also proud to announce the return of family favourites including the ARB Bullride, Berkley Supertank, Bogan Bingo, Carnival Corner, Decentralised Demountables Family Centre, Dinkum Dinosaurs, the Guru Dudu Silent Disco, Geelong Helicopter Rides, ISUZU Iron Summit, Muster Sandpit, Noah’s Thoroughbred Pig Racing, Paul Bennet Airshows, Peter Hodge Camel Rides, Ringers Western Trackless Train, the Rock Climbing Wall, the Sensory Tent and Whip Cracking and Wood Chopping demonstrations.

Ahead of the final artist taking the main stage on Saturday night, Howard and Sons will unleash a mesmerising fireworks display to light up the plains.
