Deni Ute Muster General Manager, Vicky Lowry said “The countdown is well and truly on, and 2026 is shaping up to be next level for the Deni Ute Muster.
“We’ve packed this year’s program with more action, more entertainment and more reasons than ever to get to Deni early and stay the whole weekend.
“From brand-new attractions and the debut of the Grand Pavilion, to the return of crowd favourites, there’s something happening in every corner of the site from sun-up to well after dark.
“What makes the Muster special is that it’s more than just a music festival, it’s a full experience. Whether you’re here for the music, the Ute culture or the family fun, 2026 delivers it all in a big way”.
