The highly anticipated Stock Route Music Festival, which made waves in Dubbo, New South Wales last year, has been postponed. Organizers announced the delay on social media, revealing that the festival will not take place this year but is set to return in 2026.
“We’ve had to postpone for 2025, but we’re working on exciting plans for 2026—stay tuned for updates!” the post read. For those still seeking a memorable weekend getaway in Dubbo, the festival’s organizers recommend attending Lazy River Estate’s Oktoberfest this October, which promises to be a family-friendly event featuring The Oompah Loompah Band.
The festival, which debuted in 2022 and was founded by Mat and Krissy Smith of Lazy River Estate, aims to highlight both the musical talent and tourism potential of the NSW region. The 2024 edition was headlined by Canadian artist Dan Davidson and Australian country music star Travis Collins, along with Ashleigh Dallas, The Bushwackers, Max Jackson, and Robbie Mortimer. A key feature of the event was its emerging talent competition, celebrating up-and-coming country music acts.
As Australia’s festival scene continues to face challenges, the 2025 postponement reflects the broader struggles within the industry. Fans can look forward to a return of the festival in 2026, with more details to be revealed in the coming months.
